You kept the router?

Did you at least flash it?

Yup. That's what the "fixed by an update" part referred to.
There's a difference between pressing "update" in a known-compromised device's webUI, and flashing it from the outside.
The advisory stated affected devices could be update through the device UI.

But if it didn't, then that's another can of worms.
