TP-Link is aware that researchers have disclosed a set of vulnerabilities about Wi-Fi named FragAttacks.

As soon as we became aware of the details, we immediately launched an investigation. As the investigation progresses, TP-Link will update this advisory with information about affected products.

According to the investigation, the following conditions are required to exploit the wireless vulnerability:

  1. Someone knows your Wi-Fi password and connects to your Wi-Fi network
  2. Someone needs to intercept communication between your router and devices on your Wi-Fi.
  3. In order to achieve the purpose of obtaining private information, an attacker would need to trick a user on the network to visit the attacker's server (Phishing Email, malicious ads, etc.).

Workarounds

  1. Set a strong Wi-Fi password and change it regularly. Being careful not to share your Wi-Fi password.
  2. Periodically check the devices connected to your network. If you see any unknown device, block these devices and change your Wi-Fi password.
