R7500 Beamforming and MU-MIMO
Hello I noticed that Beamforming and MU-MIMO are not enabled and when I try to enable them the apply button does not work can someone help me fix this my router firmware version is V1.0.0.122 i belie...
There are two model variants - R7500 and R7500v2. According to older posts, only later one does support MU-MIMO https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R7500-MU-MIMO-Capability/td-p/998027
it's pretty much identical except it's in English same firmware version V1.0.0.122 as that the latest one
Pushed this to the desk of the Netgear manager in charge already. Really disappointing what is going on with many Nighthawk router products.
thank you, its funny i remember buying this router a few years back and the thing that made me won't this router was that it was advertised with having beamforming+ i remember getting it then finding out that it was not getting activated till a later firmware update in the future and i complete forgot about it till the other day when i saw the options for it in the setting
Hi All,
R7500v1 does not support MU-MIMO. Enabling the option will not make any changes on the performance. This will be removed on the next FW release.
