Just to close out this topic. I realized after posting to the list that I
bought my router from FlashRouter, and they provide lifetime support for
firmware upgrades. I emailed them, they sent me the latest firmware with
the Krack patch, It took about 10 min to upgrade the router, and all is
good with the world right now. The link for the patched firmware is
