DSL Modem 192.168.a.b botnet member me?

I need a hint or a clue. Some four weeks or even more I try to change the password for my wifi access of the
DSL Router without success. I access 192.168.x.x and filling in username as well as the password I am stuck.
Literally nothing happens and the support line tells me that this is not their department.

So looking around for the manufacturer and some kind of clue (after resetting it twice) I found this article

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/tr-06...-darren-martyn

talking about some kind of botnet, publishing list of DSL-Modems, and just my provider and one of the models matches. I could not find a proper new software on the manufacturers site, therefore I went on e.g.

Code:

ip a | grep inet

So I should test it again in another equipment or complain against the provider for not testing it. And how can I test it for some virus with the terminal? Some other hints out there?????
Thanks in advance.
May this thread should be placed to hardware, but I consider it part of my security as well as of others.

NAME

       gshadow - shadowed group file

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/gshadow contains the shadowed information for group accounts.

       This file must not be readable by regular users if password security is to be maintained.

       Each line of this file contains the following colon-separated fields:

       group name
	   It must be a valid group name, which exist on the system.

       encrypted password
	   Refer to crypt(3) for details on how this string is interpreted.

	   If the password field contains some string that is not a valid result of crypt(3), for instance ! or *, users will not be able to use a
	   unix password to access the group (but group members do not need the password).

	   The password is used when an user who is not a member of the group wants to gain the permissions of this group (see newgrp(1)).

	   This field may be empty, in which case only the group members can gain the group permissions.

	   A password field which starts with a exclamation mark means that the password is locked. The remaining characters on the line represent
	   the password field before the password was locked.

	   This password supersedes any password specified in /etc/group.

       administrators
	   It must be a comma-separated list of user names.

	   Administrators can change the password or the members of the group.

	   Administrators also have the same permissions as the members (see below).

       members
	   It must be a comma-separated list of user names.

	   Members can access the group without being prompted for a password.

	   You should use the same list of users as in /etc/group.

FILES

       /etc/group
	   Group account information.

       /etc/gshadow
	   Secure group account information.
