And the V3 is still a couple years down-level. Likely will never be updated. Time to upgrade to an actual supported router vendor or bite the bullet and load 3rd party firmware to eliminate this poor support.


I don't understand. V2 and V4 were updated. Are they not going to update the V3 starting in the US version?
As far as I know the V3 was created to not allow the usage of 3rd party firmware which is still possible in prior versions.

Being that the C7 will not be affected if used in the default router mode or set it up as an access point. Should I still disable the router's WSP?

The EU version uses English, please be assured about it.

 

And the UK site uses the EU version as well. 

 

Meanwhile, we will update the firmware on the UK site soon.

@zakporter Actually krack and krook are completely different, one (krack) exposes an entire connection between two devices as the vulnerable parts won't encrypt any packet at all. That's indeed a security problem because someone could access the whole data flow, manipulate it, etc.

 

Krook, on the other side, only exposes a pending buffer when WiFi connection closes. But, except that final pending buffer, all the data flow is encrypted as expected, so it's not so severe and the probability of getting sensitive information from that small buffer is quite low. And even less considering most apps and sites now run over https which is, itself, encrypted (and that is not affected).

 

So, yes, it's a security issue because there's some data leakage, but it's not the new krack.
