Should I enable multi user MIMO?
We recommend enabling MU-MIMO unless you experience connection issues with it turned on. For more information, see How do I enable or disable MU-MIMO on my NETGEAR router? The WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard enables MU-MIMO to connect to even more devices than the WiFi 5 implementation.
What is the main benefit of multi user MIMO?
MU-MIMO is an innovative breakthrough that enables simultaneous communication to multiple devices, improving overall speed and enabling network multitasking.
Should I enable MU-MIMO for gaming?
MU-MIMO generally works better for download activities such as gaming. Upload activities such as video uploading and streaming work better with more antennas. WiFi 5 (802.11ac) MU-MIMO only works for the 5GHz band(s). WiFi 6 (ax) supports both 2.4 and 5GHz.
