Question How do I make sure my router doesn't have malware?

[Nonkii]

Hello guys! As the title says. I am kind of paranoid if there is malware on my router. I read the HowToGeek tutorial but I couldn't quite understand it. Anybody knows how to do it?

Best regards,
Nonkii

Download current router firmware from vendor' web site. Upgrade firmware, reset settings.
