Hello PDIGS44
Yes all devices with Mu MIMO support will benefit as it is on the router and all the bands not just the 1 to the satellite.

Thanks again for your replies Darren. Much appreciated. Sounds like you guys (and gals) at NG hit the nail on the head with this system. Glad I pre-ordered. :manvery-happy:

just fyi here
you need 2 or more mu-mimo clients to take advantage of mu-mimo , most of us dont have any mu-mimo clients yet
tbh im not overly excited about mu-mimo as its benefit is quite limited with todays adapters

Someone else pointed out on costco review of the orbi that Beamforming nad Mu-MIMO are off by default? Netgear, why have them OFF by default?? I just enabled mine and seems to really help!

the primary reason they are off is some clients are having issues with it on , if you dont have any clients having issues its fine to leave them enabled
