No.

Fuses do not protect devices. They protect wires from a device failure. Note that the only way to blow a fuse is to draw too much current. The only way for the router to draw too much current is for it to fail. A fuse cannot protect the router from itself.

A fuse might protect against the application of too high a voltage, but only if the device's power input was designed to survive overvoltage and to draw lots of current in the process.
