How do you know if your router is inferred? Check out the following symptoms.
1. Internet Connection is not available from router even after the connection is complete from ISP.
2. The router's DNS address has changed automatically, and it can not be changed anymore.
3. You can no longer log in to the router console panel with your old password.
4. You can not go to some websites, even after typing the correct address. An unexpected website is going away.
5. It takes too much time to load webpage.
Now know, what can happen if the router is thus inferred. The first thing that can happen is that all the devices connected to this router's network (computer, phone, tab) can come in the virus, if they do not have the appropriate protection. Even if you have an updated antivirus software on your device, you can face email hacking, password stealing sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and any other type of Identity Thief. If you have internet banking with this router connected device, then hackers can also get their passwords, and they can also take your money using it.

And all this may happen in spite of your computer's antivirus, because all antivirus software does not have all the protection again.

Now come the real words; How to fix infected router in such malware?
1. Update Router Firmware:
Login to your router's admin page (if able to) Update the firmware by going to Advanced or Management section. But keep in mind that firmware is your router's core software, which helps it to boot. If the power goes away between firmware updates, then your router may be stuck. So it is important to have uninterrupted power before doing this work.
2. Factory Reset:
Holding the Router power button to 5 to 10 seconds after router, your router will be factory reset after a reboot. This will make your router come to the original factory default setting, and malware will be removed. Routers can vary by factory reset rules, take a look at the manual.
3. Make a router password:
This is a Basic Protection Rule. The default password should be changed even if the router is not infected. If you do this, hackers can not take control of the router using your previous password.
