Mu-MIMO and Beamforming not enabled by default on Orbi

[digital10]

This got me worried, Orbi default settings has beamforming and MuMiMo OFF by default. Now if those amazing features are really good and an improvement why would Netgear turn them OFF?

There is another feature that is OFF which is fast switching.

Any one has any explanation?

What I've read is that these are good on paper, but users are getting mixed results.

I tried turning on and off each and I've found the fast switching to help when I move around the house, but no meaningful difference with the other two.
