Beam-Forming for multiple devices?

I'm planning on getting an AirPort Extreem.


Reading its capabilities, Apple mentions that this device supports 'Beam-Forming'.


My question is, can it perform this function for multiply-conntected devices?


For example: we have 2 iPod Touches, 2 iPads, 2 Apple TVs, 3 Airport Exresses and one MacBook Air.


Can the AirPort Extreem Beam-Form for all of these devices at once? 😐


Thanks

Beamforming works only if you have an "ac" wireless device connected to the new AirPort Extreme.


Among the products that you list, only the MacBook Air might have this capability.....if it is a late 2013 model that supports "ac" wireless.


Assuming you have several "ac" wireless devices, the new AirPort Extreme would support multiple connections.
