Beamforming and MU-MIMO ?? ?
Any updates on whethere or not these feautres are now usable on the RBK50 system? I am currently on Firmware Version: V1.11.0.20
If you are connected and your device shows a stable connection then that is a good indicator. Unfortunately there is no light that blinks or status indicator that tells you mu-mimo is doing it's job.
I hate to say it but I’ve completely lost faith in Netgear and this Orbi product, it does not work as expected! I want my money back!
Also don’t recommend anyone purchase this router as I’ve had issues for months and problems with firmware and support keeps dodging me on date for resolving any of this...will be speaking to the better business bureau this week!

I have both enabled and my system works great. No idea if mu-mimo is doing anything as we don't yet have any compatible devices although we will do soon. For me, the system was the same with/without mu-mimo but I have had beamforming on since moving to 1.12
I get around 99.99% connectivity with only very occasional momentarily noticeable drops on iphone when streaming video which only seems to happen in the far flung regions of the house..
For me at least, Orbi works great and is a big improvement over our previous wifi.
So, should we enable this feature yet or not?
seems to improve range on 1.11.0.20 Fw (downgraded orbi). Both settings enabled here.
