1.11.0.8 needs to be released now

The beta firmware is running extremely well compared to 1.11.0.20, this will fix a lot of people complaining about drops. I was experiencing constant drops, but once I updated to this firmware it's 100% better.

I would be curious to know if you have Beamforming and MU-MIMO enabled. Thanks

Re: 1.11.0.8 needs to be released now

Wondering if we will ever be allowed to use the Beamforming and MUMIMO features again ever? paid $500 so far got about half value..  Patience is running out paid full got a half cooked meal in return...sill hopeful though atleast Beta is being tested in earnest!

Re: 1.11.0.8 needs to be released now

Thank you. I had asked as I loaded the beta firmware yesterday. Being hopeful, at the same time I enabled Beamforming and MU-MIMO. This combination unfortunately introduced additional issues that I had never previously experienced. Due to this, last night I turned them both off again and will monitor the results. I feel that until these features can be enabled with stable results for all, connection issues can not be considered resolved. Thanks.

This causes me to have nosebleed, the fact that they have a firmware that will fix many people's problem, & they still keeping it in beta. Many people are returning their system because they have some many connection problems. I was about to return mines, until they sent me the beta update, & it works. Why continue losing customers, when you can just fix the problem.

I have drops and fluctuating speed issues. Did the beta fix that? I used to get dropped a lot now I just have unreliable speed and I know for certain it is not my ISP. My wifi speed test results will go come 180 down to 5 down and everything invetween in the matter of seconds, it's truly bizarre.

EXACTLY.  I'm experiencing huge fluctuations / drops - I would love to get this fixed (and sadly I'm past my return date so I'm stuck with Orbi).
