• Is your router's administration UI accessible from the public internet ? It shouldn't be; only a LAN address such as 192.168.0.1/login should work (VPN probably has to be off).
  
  But when I used Doileak.com to get my network's public IP address, then accessed MYPUBLICIPADDRESS/login, I got my router's login page.
  
  To make sure my router wasn't fooling me, I asked a couple of friends to access MYPUBLICIPADDRESS/login from their networks. Both of them got "unreachable". So I think my router WAS fooling me.

If you decide to perform a scan from the Internet you may want to give your ISP a heads-up to avoid any trouble.

I run scans on my home IP from a Linode account [virtual Linux box on a cloud service]. Any VPS that doesn't filter your outbound traffic should work (just make sure it doesn't violate your TOS).

First run a full scan against your home IP address. Expect to find only the ports you know you have explicitly opened open. Expect everything else to be "filtered".

Then verify that it is your home router that is performing the filtering and not your ISP. To do this, open a port on your router and rerun the scan. Expect that the port you have opened is detected as open by your scanner. If you find that you still see this port as filtered, then your ISP may be blocking that port. If so, this isn't necessarily a problem, but it means that the previous test didn't test your router, it tested the network connection to your router. Don't forget to disable the port when you're done.

If you want to test your router in isolation, and your router isn't built in to the modem, then you can test it as follows:

1. Disconnect the router from your modem. (Where "modem" is whatever device connects from your LAN to your ISP's network.)
   
   
2. Connect a second computer to the WAN port on the router. Configure this computer with a static IP address that is independent of the LAN addresses used by your router.
   
   
3. You may need to turn on a DHCP server on the second computer so that the router's WAN interface gets an IP address as usual.
   
   
4. Perform the scans described above from the second computer.

  set threads 1
  
  run
  # takes a surprisingly long time to check each vuln
  # it's taking 15 to 60 seconds per vuln
  # it starts with a few generic SSL/TLS vulns
  # it's checking vulns for all router brands
  # most "not vulnerable"; a few "Could not be verified"
  # testing doesn't slow down normal traffic through router
  # it also checked some vulns for webcams
  # took more than 1 hour to check vulns
  
  # then it started checking for default credentials
  # checking about 12 items took about 5 minutes
  
  # no vulns or default creds found
  
  # if it finds a vulnerability, choose that exploit
  use exploits/routers/whatever
  show options
  set target 19.168.0.1
  check
  # if you want to exploit
  run
