I just checked for an update for my TP Link Rouer, nothing yet.
How likely are large manufacturers likely to react to this?

Ruckus has updates out already: https://support.ruckuswireless.com/fragattacks-ruckus-techni...
Meanwhile, your router will probably give any attacker root if they ask it nicely. TP-Link doesn't seem to care about device security at all if you're already paid for the device, so don't expect any updates and expect a whole range of vulnerabilities to be exploitable against your router.
Now, it must be said, TP-Link is no D-Link, a company that almost seems to add security problems to their software intentionally with their awful software quality, but if you're conscious about security, any consumer device will probably have a whole bunch of exploits that would work easier and more reliably.
EDIT: replaced the word "access" with "proximity" to avoid confusion.
What? You just need a high enough gain antenna and you can carry it out much further away than it appears your wifi reaches. Isn't physical access, being able to touch the computer?
Meanwhile, many consumer routers can be hacked by adding something similar to <img src=192.168.1.1/admin/changesettings.cgi/> to a page or malicious ad. I don't think general consumers should be worried about someone aiming a high gain antenna at your router unless you work at a company dealing with sensitive information or places like embassies. The alternatives are much easier and much cheaper to execute.
