So, in this version - I see you can select implicit beamforming. Does that imply that - regardless of your choice here - explicit beamforming is always on?

Yes, it's a mandated part of the standard and cannot be disabled.

      in order to get a ring doorbell far from the satellite to connect reliably, on 2.0.0.72 i had to again disable beamforming and MU-MIMO - now it seems to be working reliably!
