I definitely get better performance with beam forming and MU MIMO enabled. Maybe because all my devices connect to 5G except for IoT stuff like smart plugs, appliances, switches, etc and my 2.4 GHz signal stepped down to 75%... if it's close to a satellite I have it wired (TVs, FireSticks, printers, laptop...) but haven't gotten around to hard working satellites... and absolutely every device on my network has a static IP address. Also on all phones (all are Android running 9 or 10) I have the randomized MAC disabled so I can assign them the static IPs... not sure if any of that helps with taking advantage of beam forming and MUMIMO but it definitely

randomized MAC address? I thought MAC address is specifically set by the manufacturer for each device, you can not change it. Maybe me you mean randomized IP address?

No, all my Samsung devices from Android 8 up have an option to randomize MAC...

I would like to report that I have enabled both MuMimo and Beamforming on Voxel firmware and I too have seen in one spot where I was getting 15-20Mbps increase in speeds up to 24-30Mbps.

I am not sure if this is due to enhancements from Voxel firmware, Beamforming or MuMimo.
 
Uptime over 10 days now without an issue....loving it! Nothing worse than laying in bed watching a movie and having to go down to basement to reboot router.
