Beamforming and MU-MIMO Disabled by Default

I purchased my Orbi yesterday and setup in AP mode after much trial and error. Everything seems to be running fine. I have Fios as my ISP. My firmware on both the Orbi router and satellites were updated as well during the install.

 

I saw, under Advanced Wireless Settings that the Beamforming and MO-MIMO options have been disable by default. I must admit I am not sure exactly what these features are, however, it seems these features makes the wireless experience better and that is why we purchased these pricey babies. My search in these forums indicated that these features should've been updated in previous firmware updates.

 

My question, should I enable these features. What are the pros and cons. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Model: RBR50|Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi Router
