Does this build support the MU-MIMO and beamforming feature?

Also, do you use the same procedures to flash the stock firmware back?

This version does not contain

This version does not contain the LED controls.  It is stable as far as I can tell but I have noticed a slowdown on the LAN side..  Had to terminate testing due to other reasons.

I had no problem flashing back to the latest stock version.  Remember to do a 30-30-30 reset before the flash back and after.

Jay, which did you end up

Jay, which did you end up flashing? There is a Feb 2018 build as well. Interested to hear which is stable and also whether the newest one has fixed the lack of 5Ghz control as some have mentioned for the Nov 17 build.
