Re: KRACK WPA2 Wi-Fi flaws
Nevermind the Orbi, it's easily remedited by turning off FAST roaming at least until the issue is fixed in firmware - it's really all your other devices that connect via wifi that you need to worry about.

Re: KRACK WPA2 Wi-Fi flaws
That has not been confirmed. It is still unknown for certain whether satellite-to-router connectivity can be compromised.

Re: KRACK WPA2 Wi-Fi flaws
According to the Netgear advisory linked by @Steven_Belfast above:
1. Your devices are only vulnerable if an attacker is in physical proximity to and within wireless range of your network.
2. ...satellites are affected during a WPA-2 handshake that is initiated only when connecting or reconnecting to a router.
Based on that, you are only vulnerable if someone is at your location and only when the satellites reconnect. That sounds like a small exposure to me.
What's not clear, though, is whether clients connecting to Orbi are affected if the clients are patched but Orbi is not.
