Beam forming settings?

[hifiwifi]

New N66U B1 running the latest Merlin (43). Can't find the beam forming settings under wireless/professional. Yes, I'm looking at the 5gHz settings. ?

The N66U doesn't have that setting (at least mine didn't) explicitly shown. AFAIK, it only appears on the ARM-based Asus routers.

I think it is mainly AC based technology.

Beamforming implementation wasn't standardized until 802.11ac.

Beamforming provides only modest performance gain in with medium strength signals. Doesn't help with very strong or very weak signals.
