Depends, remote access through Windows is different from remote access through the router. I believe they do it through the OS but have never dealt with them. Maybe someone else will have the exact answer.
Pretty sure it is through the OS though because you'd know if you went into the router and enabled it. Besides, they only need access to your computer, not the whole network.
I would make sure remote access on your computer is turned off now along with the router.
