>If users believe their router firmware may have been compromised, Linksys recommends that users download the latest available firmware fromhttp://www.linksys.com/support/ and update your router. >After the update, please perform a factory reset to ensure no remnants of the compromise remain. Instructions on how to do a factory reset can be found here. If users are not able to perform a firmware update or receive an error message during the update, please contact customer support for further instructions.
It isn't clear, but I don't see any indication that these remedial processes actually inform the owner of the router if it has been compromised. Is that an accidental omission, or intentional?

Might have a look at the dox attached to the wikileaks page. Linksys is probably just mass patching any possible infected routers and the "whether or not" isn't relevant to the process...imho.
