NightHawk X4S AC2600 Model R7800 VU#582384
I tried using the http://[router-address]/cgi-bin/;uname$IFS-a link to see if my computer was affected with the bug. And I got the number 0 on the screen. Which makes me wonder if my router is affected with the bug. It did not return a blank page or error message.
Model # : R7800
Firmware: V1.0.2.12
OS: Windows 10
Browser: Chrome
It's not one of the known affected models at this time. Please see the Security Advisory for VU 582384
You should keep an eye on that advisory for now as we are updating it regularly.

It still doesn't answer the question. Is the 0 in the page considered an error? Because if not, then it is affected as stated in many articles using the http://[router-address]/cgi-bin/;uname$IFS-a to check vulnerability of router. Saying it's not part of the affected list doesn't tell me if the 0 i'm getting on screen is an error. Hope this clearify the question I was asking. Thank you.
What you see looks like a blank page to me:
The accessed Web page should show a error or blank page, otherwise you can assume that the fix didn’t work.
