WPA2 WiFi update for Windows 10 Patch details and steps for installing the latest security fixes.
The situation is concerning, as the issue isn't recognized in the DDWRT wiki. The problem is more serious because the available update is dated March 2017 and doesn't address the KRACK vulnerability. You might need to disable Wi-Fi entirely if you're deeply worried about this security flaw.
The iPhone serves as the tool to access the network involved in this hack. This applies to family and friends who connect to your Wi-Fi—if your devices are fully updated and secure, but someone uses an unpatched device, a hacker could exploit KRACK on that device and breach your network. Everyone should ensure their devices are patched or avoid leaving Wi-Fi active continuously until it’s fixed or replace it with a patched model.
A guest network wouldn't be useful. It wouldn't isolate patched versus non-patched devices, leaving a backdoor open for the patched ones. So essentially, Wi-Fi 1 could be reserved for patched devices while Wi-Fi 2 handles unpatched ones, which would be more secure against this kind of attack.
i think you are misunderstanding how guest networks work, it piggybacks off your main network they are joined and secured by the WAP2 algorithm it is not isolated device by device as it connects to a router on your network. There is no way around or to contain this hack unless you have a patched WPA2 algorithm on all your devices.
This applies only to the devices connected on your various networks, while the WPA2 protocol controls the router itself and manages access at the core level. Have you ever used telnet, putty, or ssh to inspect a router’s backend? That’s exactly what a hacker would target.
