X8 (R8500) MU-MIMO Enabled Yet?

[TJG]

I love this router, but the final standards were approved months ago and we still don't have MU-MIMO support, etc.  It's listed on the product page for the router, but it doesn't support it.  And before anyone says "do you have anything that supports MU-MIMO?" -- I don't care!  You advertise it and prominently display it, so why don't you support it?  I paid a LOT of money for what I thought was going to be the top-of-the-line router, only to find that some features are forthcoming in a future update. Come on Netgear...

Hi @ElaineM,

Is there an ETA for enabling MU-MIMO?

Thanks

@scientia We do not have any ETA as of the moment.

But in cases like this, we automatically ping our engineers that it's being asked in the community and serves as their reminder.
