As publicised here, the WPA2 protocol is pretty much p0wn'd. Has/will Verizon be issuing a firmware update for any of their routers (specifically the quantum gateway) to address the vulnerability? If so, when? If not, why not?
Thank you

Well, I tried that. They are not set up to field requests from their more knowledgable client base, even when chatting with Tier 1 representatives. This is the only place I've found we can register concern about their response to such discoveries. And then we pray that someone knowledgable within Verizon sees this and at least ensures the right people are aware of the situation and are working on it.

Also note the clients (laptops, cell phones) must be patched as well, but that piece of the problem is not within FiOS support's purview.

This security defect is major and the scope extends way beyond a customer's LAN. Verizon needs to patch all supported access points, not just the Quantum Gateway.

As of 12:30 EST, Verizon has no official information to share. Given the amount of IOT devices they promote, I'm a little upset that they haven't officially acknowledged the issue yet.

There appears to be a very serious problem with WPA2 security. How soon will the update for the Actiontec MI424WR-GEN3I (firmware 40.21.24) router be available.
This is an urgent and well documented problem.

I contacted Verizon Tech Support. They replied that "The Quantum router is not affected by the WPA2 vulnerability". I requested a written statement to that effect, let's see if I get it.

When will Verizon be releasing updated firmware for the G1100? Currently this router's WPA2 is easily crackable. Please advise when we should expect a firmware update.

Does anyone know whether Vz has distributed a firmware upgrade for its WiFi routers to address the WPA2 hack?

Turn OFF your Universal Plug and Play, turn off Ping, and use a good Firewall.
And they can still KRACK Your Router but it will help.
