What if there are no security updates for my router?
Our main attack is against the 4-way handshake, and does not exploit access points, but instead targets clients. So it might be that your router does not require security updates. We strongly advise you to contact your vendor for more details. In general though, you can try to mitigate attacks against routers and access points by disabling client functionality (which is for example used in repeater modes) and disabling 802.11r (fast roaming). For ordinary home users, your priority should be updating clients such as laptops and smartphones.
ルーターもUPDATE必須? (スコア:2)
これって無線LANルーターもファームウェアアップデートで対応しなきゃならないヤツ?
超めんどくさいけどそういうのご家庭に設置してるお宅で対応できるとこはどれくらいあるんだろ
Re:ルーターもUPDATE必須? (スコア:3, 参考になる)
ルーターは大丈夫だって。リピーターモードはOFFにするべし。
