Hope that makes sense????

Makes perfect sense.

Unfortunately, some articles say the computer OS needs patching, and some say the router needs a firmware update. I think this issue is serious, but not critical right now. If you use Android on a public wifi you might be more vulnerable, but if you use public wifi Krack is the least of your worries.

The best way to make sure you are secured against this threat is to update the client (the computer you use). It may also be wise to see if there is a firmware update for your router also, but patching the client side system will take care of the issue.
