Hi Mike,
yes, you're absolutely correct. Looking around the web, it looks like Microsoft and Apple have already released patches, so those who are completely up to date should be safe. Android is more of a mixed bag, but at least Pixel phones should be patched in the November fixes in a few weeks.

Access points will all need to be updated but also all client wifi drivers are going to need to be updated on all wifi enabled devices that support WPA2, right?
