Yes, there are several components to the TCP/IP sub-system.

No.

The current level is WR8400 and it should be upgraded to WR0842x (I think
that 23 or 24 is the latest) and then apply the UN patch.

Not that I'm aware of.  However, there is a site on the internet with several 
good lists of current updates.
