Confirmed .38 fixed the network issue.

 

Also, the WIFI krack... doesn't that require the whole WIFI consortium to update the protocol? I don't think Netgear can solve it on their own.

    Other vendors have already rolled out a fix for KRACK, its only Netgear and few other **bleep** vendor that are lagging behind.

      Which vendors do you have in mind? I see complaints like this elsewhere. Who has fixed it?

       

      Netgear has released some updates. You may have to check for them.

       

      Actually, this is much less of an issue for Netgear than it is for most of the tech sector. KRACK is really all about wifi clients. (I have read the original research paper from Leuven.)

       

      With routers and modems you have to put them into bridge mode to make them vulnerable. Have you done that?

       

      If your router is working simply as a router or your modem is just a gateway (modem/router) it won't affect you.

       

      The people who really need to fix this are Apple and Google (Android). But I guess it is harder to be rude about them.

       

      Until they do, I suggest that you wrap all your tablets and mobile phones in tin foil.
