WPA2 - KRACK / Vulnerability
Hi Netgear, I think this is really important and should be monitored closely and all the wifi users should ask the vendors to monitor an patch this. Looks like that WPA2 is about to be cracked and ...
NETGEAR is aware of the recently publicized security exploit KRACK, which takes advantage of security vulnerabilities in WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access II). NETGEAR has published fixes for multiple products and is working on fixes for others. Please follow the security advisory for updates.
NETGEAR appreciates having security concerns brought to our attention and are constantly monitoring our products to get in front of the latest threats. Being pro-active rather than re-active to emerging security issues is a fundamental belief at NETGEAR.
To protect users, NETGEAR does not publicly announce security vulnerabilities until fixes are publicly available, nor are the exact details of such vulnerabilities released. Once fixes are available, NETGEAR will announce the vulnerabilities from NETGEAR Product Security web page.
The Hotfix did not work out well for me. Had devices all over the house randomly dropping off and then coming right back on again. With 1 Echo, 2 Taps and 8 Dots it got annoying having them keep announcing they had lost their connection. Similar issue with Wink Hub2, and iSmart alarm cams. Downgraded back to 2.0.0.74, hard reset all devices and then manually set up from scratch.
Things are stable again. TP-Link LB100's were dropping connections too. IDK... guess that's why they call it a beta.
Does anyone know if a new official Firmware will be released that will include this vulnerability fix?
