Malware on router

How likely is it for malware to transfer from my computer (debian OS) to my Netgear x4s D7800?

I have trojans on my comp & have had my router attached to it via ethernet cable.

2. Does a fresh install of the factory image wipe out all potential trojans on router?

3. If yes, if I lock down the comp with the luci firewall, like strongly limiting outgoing communication, will that prevent the trojans from crossing over again, or not likely?

I can wipe out the sdd by killing all partitions & reinstalling the OS, and reflashing bios to get rid of malware there. But malware may have crossed over to the non-bios firmware & I don't have the means to wipe that.

thanks,
