Once concern is a few reviewers on amazon who bought this router claim MU-MIMO is not installed. Can you confirm that its on your router?

I can't since there's no on/off setting in the web GUI, but my understanding is that MU-MIMO is enabled by default with current firmware. When I use Speedtest to check Internet speed for connected wi-fi clients that can be checked (2 PCs, laptop and phone), I'm getting about the same numbers that I get on 2 PCs that are connected by Ethernet cables. Also, 3 Roku units connected by wi-fi never have any reception problems. So even though I can't prove MU-MIMO is there, the results say it is.

Hello
In the range of wifi routers 6 from tp-link you must take the tp-link ax3000 (archer ax50) to have the mu-mimo, before this one always in tp-link there is no mu-mimo but there is only OFDMA looks like mu-mimo but for low bandwidth. The ax3000 does both.

According to the huawei site:
"(...)To summarize
OFDMA and MU-MIMO are complementary technologies. While OFDMA is ideal for low bandwidth and small packet applications such as IoT sensors, MU-MIMO increases the capacity and efficiency of high bandwidth applications such as critical voice calls and video streaming. "

The ax3000 tp-link costs $ 128

edit: According to the tp-link site the ax1500 is mu-mimo and ofdma. Weird the model above(ax1800) does not indicate the mu-mimo, and in the emulator of the tp-link routers for the ax1500 reference there is mu -mimo( not for the ax1800). You should contact them.

tp-link emulator TP-Link Emulators | TP-Link choose the ax1500, you have to go to the advanced option and on the left choose the wireless settings option

edit 2: If arc919 is American and you too, it can look in the wireless options as in the image for the 5ghz band. If you are not from the same country then contact tp-link.
