NETGEAR Nighthawk AC2100 MU-MIMO
Hi,
I just bought myself the NETGEAR Nighthawk AC2100 from Staples because I wanted a router with MU-MIMO capabilities. I did more research with this specific model and found out the “MU-MIMO” ...
- Dec 21, 2018The routers product page says that MU-MIMO is supported, but nowhere in the manual says it does, you are correct. It’s sad to see this router isn’t as I suspected, mainly because of the false advertising going on. I’ll be returning this product back to Staples today.

Most Netgear devices that support MU-MIMO says so in the manuals.
The manual for the AC2100 does not mention it.

Hmm. Dodgy practice indeed.
I see no sign that they have added this with a firmware update.
Have you tried that?

Just one more example of Netgear not having their act together. I like the one saying a forum member used. The inmates are running the asylum. I think this may be the case as management does not seem to be in charge or even care what is going on with the products and firmware. How would package advertisement review even say this was ok?
