(ALPHA) Asus RT-AC5300 Firmware Ver. 9.0.0.4_380_1680

I am comming from an AC87 to the 5300, and my house is not that big, but I did not feel loss of signal, almost all my wireless clients are AC, only cam's are not, and the only devices that connect in the 2.4 range.
I also noticed in the Apple webpage, that some of my devices support MIMO, they do not mention MU-Mimo, 6s plus and ipad pro mention only MIMO, in the macbook 12 and 15 I did not see any mention to that, Mac pro and macbook 12 uses a Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0.

But regarding to wireless, is stable and in my home strong.

No apple product has MU-MIMO. Only standard SISO and MIMO, unfortunately. I'm hoping they decide to join the bandwagon and also include NitroQAM (1024 QAM) with their next generation of devices. Also, I'm in the same boat. No issues on the wireless side at all on the latest alpha firmware. I was expecting frequent drops or packet data loss. I'm impressed at how well this alpha firmware release is working. Only issue is with the GUI. If I try to change client device names, it reverts back to the standard names the router assigns. Kind of annoying, but not that big of a deal.

My router hasn't messed up once since this ALPHA, and speeds are great. Everyone else same?

That's same for me, no issues with this firmware.
