Client patching is the more important of the two -- router is only important if it's being in a client mode. And as mentioned Linux-based devices may be more vulnerable to the four-way handshake vulnerability.

Assuming that our Kobo's are affected I'm hoping the company will chime in on that and if/when updated firmware is being tested / released. Or if this last firmware update had already patched for it. In my case the biggest concern I have right now is the user logon aspects of my device over Wifi and especially purchasing anything via the device. A low risk of course given that an attacker would need to be in close proximity of the Wifi signal, but still a concern.
