Hi there,

The 2800 is not listed in security builtin:

...I can't find confirmation, but I guess the 2800 must contain a MIPS processor so would not be vulnerable.

As for KRACK, that affects all WPA code of a certain vintage. Since the last update for the 2801 was 06/10/2016, then the code used by the wireless WICs most certainly is vulnerable.

cheers,

Seb.

2800 does not have an Intel-based CPU so it's not affected with Spectre/Meltdown. 

KRACK involves wireless network.
