R7450 router netbios virus: VulnMsft

I keep getting a message regarding my nighthawk R7450 router specifying the IP address address of this router. The message from my ISP is that there is a netbios infection with vulnMSFT. Is it possible for this Routee to be infected? If so, how would I scan it and how would it be fixed?

Here are the detailed message from my ISP:

Xx.155.19.xx ETH100-23081497 infection => 'vulnMSFT', subtype => 'Netbios', protocol => 'udp', naics => '517311', asn => '209', tag => 'netbios', sector => 'Communications, Service Provider, and Hosting Service', port => '137', username => 'READYSHARE', workgroup => 'WORKGROUP', machine_name => 'READYSHARE', mac_address => '00-00-00-00-00-00', sourceSummary => 'Netbios Report'Regards

Is it the router? Is it a device connected to the router? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!
