RBK750 missing Advanced WLAN Settings
Hello, I changed my Orbi RBK23 to an Orbi RBK753 and it turned out the RBK23 was better! Because of the missing settings for Implicit-Beamforming, MU-Mimo and Fast Roaming And i can tell you ...
As mentioned already, those options are all automatic and were never seen or available in the WEB UI when Orbi AX systems first came out. I presume NG won't be making these available in the future as well.
You shouldn't need to make changes with these anyways. Most all devices work with Orbi AX systems these days.
These options are not made available to the user control on Orbi AX. They are enabled by default now (and for a long time).
Core Technologies of Wi-Fi 6
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) inherits all the advanced MIMO features of Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) while also introducing several new features applicable to high-density deployment scenarios. This is why many formerly "advanced" WLAN settings disappeared.
DL MU-MIMO technology
MU-MIMO has been introduced since 802.11ac, but only DL 4x4 MU-MIMO is supported. In 802.11ax, the number of MU-MIMO is further increased, and DL 8x8 MU-MIMO is supported. DL OFDMA technology can be used to simultaneously perform MU-MIMO transmission and allocate different RUs for multi-user multiple-access transmission, which increases the concurrent access capacity of the system and balances the throughput.
UL MU-MIMO technology
UL MU-MIMO is an important feature introduced in 802.11ax. Similar to UL SU-MIMO, UL MU-MIMO uses the same channel resources to transmit data on multiple spatial streams by using multi-antenna technology of the transmitter and receiver. The only difference is that multiple data streams of UL MU-MIMO are from multiple users. 802.11ac and earlier 802.11 standards use UL SU-MIMO, that is, a user can receive data from only one user, which is inefficient in multi-user concurrent scenarios. After 802.11ax supports UL MU-MIMO, UL OFDMA technology is leveraged to allow MU-MIMO transmission and multi-user multiple-access transmission at the same time. This improves the transmission efficiency in multi-user concurrent scenarios and greatly reduces the application delay.
