What are the vulnerabilities associated with TP LINK KRACK?

333    Asked by AnishaDalal in Cyber Security , Asked on Mar 23, 2022

I have a TP-LINK TD-W8151N 150Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router. Is this model vulnerable to KRACK? It is not specified in the WPA2 Security (KRACKs) Vulnerability Statement. Will TP-Link publish firmware updates for this model?

Answered by Anisha Dalal

I can neither see support for 802.11r (fast roaming) nor support for repeater mode in the specification. Based on this the AP is probably not affected but probably only the vendor itself can give you the ultimate answer about it. See also the statement of TP-Link krack regarding a specific type of routers and use case which is part of the vulnerability statement you've linked to: Unaffected TP-Link products: ...Routers and gateways working in their default mode (Router Mode) and AP Mode
