No, I don't think so. If remote management is disabled, they should not
be able. Also check to see what default ports are open to outside. There
are several places to check in the router.

But also your router is old, so possibly some of the things I said do
not apply to you.

Maybe, but then you have to apply the firmware updates they provide, if
they do.

Reminds me, some routers have security faults, and hackers learn of them
for their own purposes.
