Netgear EX7300 Feature & Spec Questions
I have a few questions about the Netgear EX7300 before putting down the money to purchase it that I cannot find answers to in marketing materials or support materials for the product:
- In access point mode, does it support band steering?
- Is transmit beam forming (TXBF) enabled on the 2.4GHz radio?
- Can MU-MIMO be enabled/disabled by the user for the 5GHz radio?
- Does the EX7300 use the same older (circa 2012) QCA9558 802.11n SoC solution that the Netgear EX6400 has? If not, what does the EX7300 have for its SoC?
Thank you ahead of time to those whom are able to come up with answers to my questions.
