Router not being 'recognised'

I received a Netgear C6300BD router from my ISP in August of this year. On a laptop I run Bitdefender 2017 AV and when I do  a 'vulnerability scan' it provides a warning..."Router : Password strength...

Hi VE6CGX,

 

If I'm correct you're asking me to turn off the 'Vulnerability Scan' setting which applies to wifi 'things' that includes the router? I have done this, ran the scan, and get no error message dealing with the router.

Sorry, as the 'Vulnerability Scan' provides me with a 'You have no vulnerabilities' message when it doesn't include the router in it's scan can I therefore assume that there IS a setting or hardware problem with the router?.....which would be a touch annoying as I've only had it since August.
