I would like to know this myself. My computer has already updated but still would like to know which update this was.

Also, what if your router is connected to an older version of Windows OS that no longer receives updates but the laptop which receives the WI FI signal is a WIN 10 OS, does this still mean, the newer computer is safe?

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.
