Default Did you update your router for the WPA2/PSK KRACK nonce re-useattack yet?

No. Many closed source vendors do not bother trying to fix things unless

source vendors do not bother since fixing it only affects the bottom
line negatively.


In some cases it may be possible to run alternative firmware, such
as dd-wrt or tomato, once the appropriate versions for your router
have been patched.
