Beamforming and MU-MIMO ??

[althea]

I notice that "Implicit BEAMFORMING" and MU-MIMO are not enabled by default.

Is it a good idea to enable these?

Should one or both be enabled?

Thanks for any help!

Hello althea

Right now they are disabled by default because of disconnect issues but will be fixed in firmware.

Thank you! Do you think we will be alerted when firmware is released that it will fix this issue? It would be good to know when we can enable these.

Thanks again!

Interesting, in the 1.9.1.12 they are both checked on

I did a factory reset when I upgraded to this latest version (no particular reason for the FR, I just hadn't done one for a while, so I figured why not)...

Both of those options were unchecked after the FR.

Were those options checked before you did the uopgrade?  If so, I think they would've just remained checked after too.

They should not have been, I haven't been in that area for months and just happen to go there while cruising around after the upgrade and noticed it. I unchecked them either way.

Has this been fixed in the V1.10.1.2 firmware?   The release notes "Fixed few bugs" are not helpful.

It's still turned off by default.

I updated new firmware and did a router reset.

Monitoring the wifi drop situation now.

It was still dropping prior to reset.

This firmware did not have the fixes for the wifi drops.

Will we be able to use THESE features Beamforming and MUMIMO again in a future firmware?

Hello JMU1998

Yes that is being worked on for future firmware.
