Most wifi router vendors have STILL not fixed the KRACK vulnerability. Looks like most companies dont care about user security at all.

From that side, this is why I insist on only buying devices 'supported' by OpenWRT / LEDE.

LEDE, thanks to being open source, had a patch within days, which worked across all supported devices.

I would honestly just prefer the manufacturers 'give up' in house router software and instead contribute to the community software.

KRACK only compromises the client, not the AP (unless you have one in relay mode or something)

So? The issue is on the client side. Unless you use wlan client, or repeater stuff with your AP.
