RAX20 Beamforming ?
Hi!
I was wondering whether RAX20 support Beamforming technology?
For some routers Netgear lists a specific brand feature ‘Beamforming+’, however for this router such feature is not mentioned.
On the orher side - User Manual of RAX20 refers to ‘Implicit Beamforming’ option which leads me to believe that the router supports some kind of this technology: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RAX20/RAX20_UM_EN.pdf
Refering to other (AC) router (R8000) Netgear explains that Implicit Beamforming means the router can support beamforming even with clients that do not support beamforming...

I am kind of confused here. Do all AX routers support Beamforming? Is Beamforming+ something brand specific and what are the benefits of it over ‘Implicit Beamforming’ if so?
Basically with Beamforming I understand the ability of a router to direct signal towards the client, and not just spreading it around, and that is what I would like to find out if RAX20 support?
