KRACK WPA2 Wi-Fi flaws

Question

Does Orbit effect by this?

&nbsp;
According to the Netgear advisory linked by&nbsp;Steven_Belfast above:
1. Your devices are only vulnerable if an attacker is in physical proximity to and within wireless range of your network.
2. ...satellites are affected during a WPA-2 handshake that is initiated only when connecting or reconnecting to a router.
&nbsp;
Based on that, you are only vulnerable if someone is at your location and only when the satellites reconnect. That sounds like a small exposure to me.
&nbsp;
What's not clear, though, is whether clients connecting to Orbi are affected if the clients are patched but Orbi is not.

Nevermind the Orbi, it's easily remedited by turning off FAST roaming at least until the issue is fixed in firmware - it's really all your other devices that connect via wifi that you need to worry about.

That has not been confirmed.&nbsp; It is still unknown for certain whether satellite-to-router connectivity can be compromised.
