Agreeing with Dom. I'd have to imagine the difficulty and cost of implanting something surreptitiously into a sub-$100US consumer router to not be worthwhile, especially since such devices are often just a single circuit board inside a plastic shell that may not be easily disassembled (the small TP-Link units in particular).
Seems far more likely this sort of thing could happen to US-made rackmount equipment sold to foreign ISPs, data houses, and similar enterprise-scale clients. Less so to end users.
