Cannot disable beamforming on RAXE500 (fw V1.0.12.96_2.0.45)
In some situations (not sure which ones) I cannot disable beamforming. I uncheck the checkbox and press Apply but after settings are applied the checkbox is checked again. Any idea what is going on?...

I suspect this is a bug in 1.0.12. I've reverted to 1.0.11 and it's working again.

Is AX mode enabled?
What browser are you using? Try MS EDGE. I just disabled mine and it stayed disabled.

AX is not enabled.
I'm using Chrome on an Ubuntu machine.
Sometimes disabling Beamforming does work, not sure what the settings difference is between when it works and when it doesn't.
It wasn't a problem with an older fw version.

Try with Firefox?
I'm using a Windows PC.

It's the same in Firefox. I doubt it's anything to do with the browser.
My guess is there's something in the fw that says you can't disable Beamforming if X is true, but it doesn't tell you in the web-site it just quietly refuses to disable it.
