Please,
separate the Quickset to its own package to allow administrators to remove it.
Of course, you can ship the devices with Quickset package installed and active, but please, allow us to remove it or at least not to install when updating to newer ROS versions.
Thank you very much.
I have to agree with that. Sometimes you guys mix functions dedicated to office equipment that do not make much sense in routers of a large network. Ex: SMB in core routers?
I think you guys should split RouterOS in two versions: one dedicated to consumers and office equipment and another for edge routers, core routers etc without all bells and whistles of the former.

No need for different versions, but more / separate packages which can be installed / uninstalled at will most certainly.
Yes savage. looks like a good solution too. The Mikrotik team should chose the most simple, but they need to do something.
+1 separate package
+1 for quickset separate package
Sounds like a good idea. There are places, where we don’t need quickset. Separate package would be sufficient, no need to have separate RouterOS versions, just possibility to enable/disable functionalities.
+1 possibility to enable/disable functionalities, It is better idea.
Are there any thoughts of Mikrotik to make something like this?
I like the WiFi dashboard in quickset but I never use it because my configuration isn’t using the standard interfaces, and one wrong click could end up borking my configuration, forcing me to boot off of the backup partition to recover. (not that I couldn’t build my router from scratch in 5 minutes, but it’s a PITA I woudln’t need)
But making it a package makes tons of sense - any service provider who uses Mikrotik as CPE could benefit from removing this tool from its users’ devices.
+1 please, Quickset to separate package if possible
similarly i would vote for making CALEA -compliant LI feature a separate package.
its make sense only in NA market, in others thats are HUGE flaw and result for hardware rejection simply because(illegal outside NA)backdoor/LI features imply they are "insecure Enough “by design” for number of applications, projects, not only in government contracts, but in even in medium and small business.
p.s.
LI implemented differently outside NA and regulated. and not require anything harware or firmware specific, thus, removing relevant exposure/breach, thus.
p.p.s.
present “CALEA” package are only contain forwarding/storing collected data(ie usable for nodes that actually Store suspect/target data, than “collection node” LI features). thus inside NA this feature is LAW and outside - a crime.
How do you imagine that would work? The home user needs QuickSet by default, he will not download and install it before he knows how RouterOS works.
And removing QuickSet is already possible:

Normis, do you mean it seriously? Really?
Of course the idea of a separate package would be that this package is included in the default install and enabled
by default, then could be disabled by an admin. Just like the MPLS or the Hotspot package.
I have used the skin designer to try to change the quickset page (e.g. to remove all the dangerous settings fields but
to keep the WiFi display and the upgrade button there), but boy is this page complicated!
There are 20 times more fields and checkmarks on this page than you actually see on the webpage, probably because
they cater for all different router models and somehow the relevant sections are selected based on the actual hardware.
But it is nearly impossible to find out how to hide a section without causing havoc in others…
Maybe an alternative would be to have some system setting that enables/disables the fields that change the setup
of the router (the actual “QuickSet”) all in one go, but keep the general “status display” function of the page.

I would like to change a quickset to a setup wizard (for home users) step by step. With menu of 3or4 buttons. iclude wan-isp setup, wlan-wifi-wireless setup, vpn setup wizard, maybe to change dhcp default adresses.
I am for whatever functional change of quickset if I will be allowed to remove it out of the device. [emoji1]
Please understand that this topic is a request to be able to REMOVE the QuickSet, not to have it behave differently.
Maybe you should create a different topic for that.
