R8500 MU-MIMO support
Purchased this router 11 monts ago, was promised MU-MIMO support by the end of the year (2015). Does the current firmware, V1.0.2.64_1.0.62, support MU-MIMO? Also, random reboots still seem t...
You'll probably get the same answer the rest of us who've asked have been getting... "It's coming." This was supposed to be the top of the line, everything including the kitchen sink router. Oh well. Maybe it's time to look elsewhere since features aren't getting delivered.
R7800 works good on MU-MIMO. Read the review at smallnetbuilders.
We apologize for the delay.
MU-MIMO was included previously it's just that our engineers needed to work on it for better performance.
I was advised that MU-MIMO will be back on the next firmware release soon.
ETA on MU-MIMO??
Elaine, with all due respect, this issue isn't resolved. Telling us it's coming doesn't deliver it to us. We all purchased this device thinking it would be enabled, and it's not. We have been patient that Netgear would deliver, and you haven't. This feels like false advertising from Netgear to a bunch of people who paid $300-400 for a top of the line router and haven't had full use of its functionality in quite some time.
Just made a follow-up on this asking for an ETA.
