Beamforming and MU_MIMO default settings

I confess that I can't say for certain that I didn't manually re-check those after I updated firmware and was then cruising through my setup double-checking all the various settings, but I don't recall having to manually re-enable those options.

I think that would've struck me as particularly odd at the time, and I don't recall anything like that sticking out to me.

I think they are having issues. With those features enabled, it is causing any Nest Camera to randomly disconnect.

I might have a little insight into why these settings are checked off. I had manually checked those settings and all was well for weeks until last night.

Last night while I was working I noticed my internet running very slowly, around 1mbps download and 1 upload. With my ISP I pay to receive 45mbps down and 5 upload. After calling my ISP, disconnecting my orbi system and running ethernet from ISP gateway to my computer I was getting full bandwith. The second I plugged the orbi back in bandwidth would drop. I called orbi customer support and I was instructed to uncheck Beamforming and mu-mimo. Once unchecking those options my bandwidth was back to normal. Netgear tech support said their developers are working through issues where those settings are causing bandwidth to drop. Might be a good idea to leave those options unchecked in the meantime, seems as if there is a good reason why they have disable those settings by default at this time. Hope this helps.

What's the update on this? DarrenM  posted on this topic (same issue) stating "future firmware"  though it's been over 6 months since this has been an issue.

Can we get some kind of update of when we're expected to see a fix?  The next month?  The next 3 months?? The next year???
