KRACK vulnerability - reassurance

I read "Routers and gateways are only affected when in bridge mode" in 'Security Advisory for WPA-2 Vulnerability, PSV-2017-2826, PSV -2017-2836, PSV-2017-2837'.

 

Can someone just confirm that this is the case for the DGND3700v2 and to make absolutely certain, how I cheack that my router isn't in 'Bridge mode'

 

Thanks

   You would probably know.  If you have wireless client devices
connecting to the router, then it's a router.  Look for "bridge" in the
User Manual.  (Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model
number, and look for Documentation.)

There is a manual for the DGND3700v2 somewhere at the end of this link:

 

>>>> DGND3700v2 | Product | Support | NETGEAR <<<<

 

The LEDs on the front offer a clue. See page 15.

 

Page 123 tells you how to change the mode.

Thanks for the replies.  I don't think this router has this particular feature. I didn't notice the model list at the time.

I'll just have to rely on Netgear  updating the SW if necessary. At least Linux have provided the necessary update.
