    I second the above - What is the status of a patch for the R7000?

    My organization has 22 WAC740 APs managed by a WC7600V2 controller. We have a made a *substantial* investment in Netgear Wave 2 infrastructure. If they don't get this patched I am going to be extremely disappointed. Aruba and Ubiquity already have a patch released. According to CERT, Netgear has not even filed a response to their vulnerability notice: https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/CHEU-AQNMYE Let's go Netgear! Protect your customer base!

    We currently have two WAC104 access points serving the office with no sign of a patch, and no clear announcement from Netgear on the vulnerability and their intended course of action.

    I will be looking for a patch to this vulnerability (Krack) for the Orbi RBR50.  It seems all routers (from all manufacturers) are susceptible since 2003 that use WPA or WPA-2. It’s a fundamental flaw in the underlying encryption protocol.

     

    Hopefully Netgear can get the patch out soon.
