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
I have recently got my Orbi RBk50 & noticed both Beamforming & MIMO are still disabled. After looking through older threads, apparently these features have been disabled for now due to them causing problems. But then firmware V1.12.0.18 has been released & its still disabled - without any clarification about Beamforming/MIMO working properly.
I've only just got my Orbi system working nicely after testing out all the different settings & several factory resets - turns out its just better not to really change anything and just leave everything as it is.
I would really like to turn on Beamforming & MIMO, but im worried if I do its just going to mess up things up. The biggest problem ive had is the Wi-Fi stays connected but nothing loads and it just times out.
Is anyone on firmware V1.12.0.18 with Beamforming/MIMO enabled?
im on the latest firmware 1.12.0.18 with mu-mimo and beanforming enabled. i have a tv and a notebook on the same satellite. both devices have 2x2 ac. i can file transfer to my nas at 50-60MBps while streaming 4k netflix on the tv with no issues. This is usually done with 3 kids play 3 xboxs while watching youtube at the same time(spoiled rotten im aware). I have not tested the settings disabled since i enabled it on setup. The only issue that I've experienced is hbogo glitches when streaming to the tv or xbox. seems to be a hbo issue from what ive researched for. the xbox one s now streams most of my video contrent but its hardwired into the network.
