Does anyone have a push date for V1.12.0.16? I have beamForming turned on, will this be an issue if the FW is automatically updated?

Can we turn on the MU-MIMO feature on yet? Or do we need to wait for the next Firmware? (assuming current Beta has it fixed).

i have had mine on for ages and nothing has been a problem , this you will only know if you turn on and test in your location , if it doesnt cause issues then leave it on , if it does cause issue leave it off for now and report the issues

I am on beta 1.12.0.12. MU-MIMO and beamforming on. No disconnects. I have over 60 devices connected including Dropcams and I have been running the beta for a week with no issues. I think we may finally have a winner.
