Migration guide from /interface/wireless to /interface/wifi

Hello,
I just upgraded my routers to 7.13 and discover the /interface/wifi configuration command (better late than never, I know :frowning: ).
Now, I’d like to convert my caps-man configuration from /caps-man to /interface/wifi/cap
I thought this was kind of a drop-and-replace stuff, and given my configuration is quite simple I though this would go quick, but apparently there’re some slight differences.

I’m looking for a comprehensive migration guide which explain which option in /interface/wifi/cap/ replaces which one in /caps-man.
I read https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=46759946, https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Wireless+Interface and https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WiFi but couldn’t find any “mapping” list.

Any help or advice welcome

There is no 1 on 1 mapping since the background drivers are completely different.
At least to my knowledge.

Hello,
Thanks for you answers and video.

I finally managed to do the migration. Apparently, my setup wasn’t that simple in the end, though :laughing:

What I have:

  • 2 CAP ac access points
  • 1 old RB2011 to provide wifi for iot stuff
  • some VLANs to isolate trafic

What I did:

  • uninstall wireless package from my CAP ac and replace it with wifi-qcom-ac
  • migrate configuration from /caps-man to /interface/wifi
  • migrate 1 CAP ac => failed (because of VLANs)
  • read multiple times http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/capsmanv2-with-wifi-qcom-ac-and-vlans/171966/1 (took me some time to figure out my answer was there, but I didn’t saw it at first)
  • a lot of back and forth

Finally, after having fixed my VLANs issues, I got my 2 CAP ac working well.
I kept the /caps-man in place for the RB2011 which is unsupported by the new /interface/wifi command.

VLAN support is a bit weird when we come from CAPsMAN v1, but all in all, it works pretty well and in an intuitive way.
