Disable Beamforming on Nighthawk X4S Extender (EX-7500)

[ronnymac32]

Hey everyone,

I did some tooling around on the Google box and found a lot of advice for adjusting settings on the Netgear Routers. Unfortunately, it seems more limited in the extender realm. Is there a way to disable beamforming in the extender settings? I ask because I got one of the Nest Hellos and the tech said they don't like beamforning. Any assistance in the matter is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Beamforming should be a setting in the router the ex7500 does not have this option.

Thanks Darren. Do you happen to know if I disable beamforming on the router if the extender will follow suit? Or am I stuck with beamforming on the extender?

[DarrenM]

yes that should be the case
