Dear Friend!
I agree with you. It is a kind of bug! My problem WAS the same. I didn't do anything and one day the "Internet" appeared as "connected". So, the solution is waiting that the router will fix itself!

All is perfect now, or as perfect as my blazing hot 6 Mbps connection out in the country gets! Any ideas of why implicit beamforming hurt my situation???
Netflix can consume up to 6 Mbps, leaving nothing for the rest of your devices, so I'm not sure that beamforming is to blame. But I also am not discounting the possibility of a bug with beamforming. Perhaps you can try turning it back on and run a speed test. If you see a clear difference with and without beamforming, then use whatever works!
Yes- Netflix will consume a good chunk of 6Mbps, but before I made the switch to the R8000 I was still easily able to run multiple wireless devices while streaming Netflix (I was running this wireless setup for years - only the range of the wifi signal made me change to a separate router). It seemed strange that once I made the jump to separate modem and R8000 router, my wifi connection was all to one device and nothing else.... Or nothing at all! When it worked, it worked well for one device. Extremely frustrating with all the wifi "brownouts" throughout the day! I will try turning beamforming back on at some point, but for now I've had good internet on all devices since Wednesday and I'm going to ride that train for a bit yet! :smileyvery-happy:
I will update when I turn on beamforming again...
