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!

    Hello althea

     

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

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.

    This firmware did not have the fixes for the wifi drops.

      Will we be able to use THESE features Beamforming and MUMIMO again in a future firmware?
