    You should review this and maybe revert back to this recommended version of FW:

    I've looked here again after a while and I can't belive the problem is still not solved....

    Since I've flashed Tomato a few weeks ago I've forgotten that I have a router- it's working perfectly getting dust because i do not touch it at all :-)...

     

    Parental control works perfectly, 0 drops, strong signal - save your time and do a similar thing!

AtoZ Advanced Tomato isn't Krack fixed. Or am I wrong?

It's not. I researched this a bit a few weeks ago. Forum posts over there indicate it may not be KRACK fixed for a long time, if ever.

Fix for Krack is the client side. So if you are using this as a standard router then you don’t need krack fix.

    juched Be careful with this. I don't think it's enough to fix the client side only.

    Fix for KRACK is on either side. I posted links about this before in these forums, or you can read the website FAQ for the exploit. Because not all clients are fixed, and some may never be fixed, router-side fixes are extremely useful.
