Model: Archer AX53  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.4.4 Build 20250603 rel.74380(5553)

I want to enable MU-MIMO from Wireless Settings tab but I cannot seem to find the option to enable it. Does this router support MU-MIMO?

Hello @AhanafH ,

Welcome to our community.

 

We have transitioned the MU-MIMO setting from a manual toggle to an automated driver-level management in the recent AX53 update.

As a 2T2R device, the AX53's spatial streams are often fully occupied by modern 2x2 clients to ensure peak speeds, making manual MU-MIMO control redundant. To enhance system stability and streamline the user interface, this feature is now autonomously managed by the wireless driver.

 

Best Regards.

Thanks for the reply. A further question, as this is a WiFi 6 supported router, does it support 2x2 MU-MIMO for both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz individually? And, will a 2x2 WiFi 5 device be able to get MU-MIMO benefit or is it limited to Wifi 6 devices only?
