Beamforming and MU-MIMO ??

I notice that "Implicit BEAMFORMING" and MU-MIMO are not enabled by default.

Is it a good idea to enable these?

Should one or both be enabled?

Thanks for any help!

    Right now they are disabled by default because of disconnect issues but will be fixed in firmware.

      Thank you! Do you think we will be alerted when firmware is released that it will fix this issue? It would be good to know when we can enable these.

      Thanks again!

        Interesting, in the 1.9.1.12 they are both checked on

      Has this been fixed in the V1.10.1.2 firmware?   The release notes "Fixed few bugs" are not helpful.

        It's still turned off by default.

        I updated new firmware and did a router reset.

        Monitoring the wifi drop situation now.

        It was still dropping prior to reset.
