While possible I can only see this affecting some of the Linux based routers where it is easy to flash in 3rd party firmware. This would be extremely hard to pull off being that you have to first detect the routers hardware revision and then upload the correct firmware for that hardware onto the device. The amount of space needed to store each type of firmware would be prohibitive of the attack let alone the number of different hardware revisions that exist due to manufactures constantly trying to make a cheaper product.
