Disable Beamforming

Question

Forgive the basic question. I've read a number of posts regarding an issue I'm having with the Orbi dropping connection to Nest Cameras. Many have suggested a solution of disabling beamforming, at least until a firmware update may address the problem. I'm not seeing this option in Advanced Settings. Could someone please provide the path?

thanks

Thank you for the response.&nbsp;&nbsp;On this tab, I see three groups:Advance Wireless Settings (2.4GHz b/g/n)Advance Wireless Settings (5 GHz 802.11 a/n/ac)Back haul Password&nbsp;The second from the bottom is Trasnsmit Power Control under the 5GHz grouping. I don't see a reference to Beamforming on the page. Am I in the right spot?&nbsp;

Yes, on that page, the bottom line reads enable MU-MIMO. &nbsp;The line above that says enable implicit Beamforming. &nbsp;At least it does on my system.&nbsp;

I've left mu-mimo enabled and disabled beamforming. &nbsp;My issue: &nbsp;An HP All in one (AIO) pc was having difficulty saving a file on a network wired PC. &nbsp; It seems disabling Beamformng improved (upload) - saving to a network drive. &nbsp; Any one else experience this?
