    See my previous post. I just tried enababling Beamforming and MIMO on my ORBI with the router on the latest firmware. Within 10 minutes, my Nest cameras started going offline.

    Issue NOT fixed. About 45 minutes after I enabled MIMO and Beamforming, the Dropcam cameras started going offline. Still waiting...... Come on Netgear!
