Cannot disable beamforming on RAXE500 (fw V1.0.12.96_2.0.45)
In some situations (not sure which ones) I cannot disable beamforming. I uncheck the checkbox and press Apply but after settings are applied the checkbox is checked again.
Any idea what is going on?
I suspect this is a bug in 1.0.12. I've reverted to 1.0.11 and it's working again.

I am using Firmware Version V1.0.12.96_2.0.45 and can't uncheck "Enable Implicit Beamforming" either. I uncheck it and save the settings, after the settings update it comes back as checked.
I also have unchecked "Enable AX mode" to see if that would help, but still does not uncheck the "Enable Implicit Beamforming" after saving the settings.
This is frustrating, my Internet keeps dropping. All my hardwired devices stay connected while my wireless devices loses Internet (even though network settings shows its connected). I have to restart the router, every morning to give it a fresh start. I shouldn't have to do this, and troubleshooting doesn't help when the settings I am trying to apply doesn't stick.
Wondering if you reverted FW back to v1.0.0.48, does this change the behavior?

If I revert back to older versions, do I need to reconfigure my VPN and setup my VPN clients all over again? That is the only reason holding me back from going down versions.
Is AX mode enabled?
What browser are you using? Try MS EDGE. I just disabled mine and it stayed disabled.

AX is not enabled.
I'm using Chrome on an Ubuntu machine.
Sometimes disabling Beamforming does work, not sure what the settings difference is between when it works and when it doesn't.
It wasn't a problem with an older fw version.
Try with Firefox?
I'm using a Windows PC.
