Archer Router and KRACK - why is there no firmware update?

Hello,

I have an Archer D2 router. I was looking for a firmware update due to the KRACK vulnerability. I read the "WPA2 Security (KRACKs) Vulnerability Statement" from TP-Link. However, when I checked the download page for the D2, I saw that the last firmware upgrade was in September 2015.

Does anyone know why the D2 has not been provided with a firmware update? What should I do?

Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Been doing some research, here's a link to some important reading https: //www.ctrl.blog/entry/tplink-firmware-outdated-downloads

A Quote from the link: " A support technician who shall remain nameless stated that it’s “[B]not suggest you update the firmware if the device is working fine."[/B]
