The article says a restart is the only consumer option available if infected. Does anyone know if there is a way to detect or prevent infection on the stock firmware?

Keep up to date but i dont think consumer grade firmware gets proper attention fron these merchants.

Openwrt covers a lot of consumer grade equipment though. No reason not to use it.
