Thank you for the details, I have an iPad Mini 4 and in the WLAN specs it's stated :
WLAN | Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, hotspot |
Is dual-band = mu-mimo ? or is it just 2.4 and 5Ghz freq ?

No. MU-MIMO is a newer technology, and only found in very new devices (2017 and later). Google it if you want some more info on what it's supposed to do for you. Dual band simply measn your iPad can access both 2.4 and 5 ghz WiFi.

Ok thank you,
Moreover for my information what are your internet speed test result through the Orbi Hydro130 and KBeaty ?

I experimented with enabling MU-MIMO and did not have any bad results or anything like that, so if you want to enable it, I think you'll be just fine - I doubt you'll see any issues. I just keep it disabled for simplicity's sake.
I have 100/10 service from Comcast and I consistely get 120+/12+ on speedtest ressults all over my house and front/back yards. On the DSLreports speed test, I get A or A+ on overall quality, and bufferbloat.
I'm absolutely thrilled with how welll my Orbi works - I've had mine since they were launched in the fall of 2016, and I've had very few (and only minor) issues with it during that time. Overall, it's been the best router I've ever owned, no question!
