If you use OpenSSL then yes I would say until they patched the OpenSSL bug, that all OpenSSL traffic passing through ISP's was at risk. I'm sure you've already read this  or something similar by now if not I suggest reading it, and looking at implementing the new version Fixed OpenSSL.

In terms of whether the router itself is vulnerable to having its internal data accessed by way of the Heartbleed vulnerability, to my knowledge it doesn't have any SSL or TLS services that can be accessed from the outside world.  So that would be a no.
