Samsung Galaxy S8 not working on Orbi RBR40

Galaxy S8+ also disconnects off and on (more off than on) but no other issues with any other wifi device. After reading and looking at the router page I tried the following and it seems to have fixed the problem.
go to-- Advanced, Advanced Settings, Wireless Settings, scroll to the bottom and UNCHECK "Enable Implicit Beamforming"
After doing this the Samsung Galaxy S8+ connected and seems to be staying connected.
I am not sure what I may have given up by unchecking this? If you could let me know, I'd appreciate it.
This is the *one* problem I still have with my RBK53, even with the latest posted beta firmware. I have a Galaxy S8 (not plus) from Verizon that is fully patched and updated as of 6-8-18.
My S8 will disconnect, and it's very noticable when I'm using it as a remote for one of my Logitech Harmony hub's. The S8 does this when less than 15 feet away from the main Orbi router. Sometimes it happens over and over, and then other times it will go hours without happening.
Beamforming is and has been disabled (I've done extensive testing, both ways).
I don't need to do a factory reset or anything else Furry recommends.
It's not critical to me, but it is still very annoying, and helps me understand how others feel on these forums with all their Orbi disconnect issues.
