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.

I'm currently using my RAXE with Smart Connect disabled along with AX mode. Might try this as well. I was able to disable and enable it this morning.

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.

    Wondering if you apply v.96 again over on top if it sticks. 

    Not sure if it's bug. I'm able to disable and enable Beamforming on mine and I've got v.96 FW loaded.
