So, as you discovered, we posted the new version on the support -> download site for you to apply to your systems.  the auto-firmware push will happen soon, but we're giving you a window to manually apply the firmware upgrade before it gets pushed.  

 

The only difference between .72 and .74 are a some bug fixes.

Amit, can you please comment on the stability of the "Implicit BF" and "MU-MIMO" options in v.74?

In past firmware releases, DarrenM warned peope away from enabling those, saying they would be fixed/improved in a later firmware realease...  Are those two options now fully ready-to-rock in v.74?

Thanks!

I'm in the midst of the update now - I manually uodated the firmware (that went fine), and did a full factory reset and NVRAM-clear so far...

 

I'm not too deep into rebuilding my settings yet, but I did notice that the 3 options for Implicit Beamforming, MU-MIMO, and Fast Transition are all UNchecked by default - IIRC, those were all checked by default in .72

That has got to be a mistake in their clearing routine. I've found those options very stable on .72, and if they are not on .74 I'll revert back to .72 until the next release.

The options are still there in .74.  They're just not checked by default.

Yes, but I meant that it's likely an oversight on their part that they are not checked when you do the nvram reset. Or they would have unchecked them for me when I upgraded from .72 if they were deemed to be not ready.

I've been running with them all checked ever since 12 and the Orbi has been rock solid, all my devices connect, streaming is solid and speed is as fast as my internet allows and as fast as wireless allows for the NAS.

I would hate to see people thinking that they are unstable for no reason.
