Netgear Nighthawk AC2100 and Implicit Beamforming
Just wondering what the opinions are on Implicit Beamforming on the Netgear Nighthawk AC2100 router? Should I have it enabled or not? I've read a few things online that say it does more harm than good but I don't know.
Opinions?

Try both and see what works for you. A lot of the articles were older from when beamforming was first released. And even then at times it helped and others it didn't. So all you can do is try it with it enabled and see how well it works for you.
