[FRIAM] KRACK

But if I understand correctly, my TV and printer will remain the weakest links, regardless.  And as long as those are present, whatever credentials my router requires are compromisable.  So, a possible solution is to use one subnet for the devices for which you don't have patches and a more trusted subnet for those that are patched.  ... perhaps even different routers.

This vulnerability affects almost every device that has WiFi capability. Whether it’s a Smart TV, IP camera, phone or computer, it’s safe to assume that it’s data can be intercepted and/or altered by an attacker.

The encrypted tunnel that the VPN creates when you connect prevents Man-in-the-middle attacks. This is the sort of attack that the WPA2 vulnerability puts you at risk for.
