Which ROS version would you recommend for WDS over nv2?

I'm interested what ROS versions are being considered stable for WDS and nv2. Please post your experience.

you can use station-bridge instead of station-wds.
I would recommend to use RouterOS v6.10.

I have had problems with "wds". The network is comparatively slow. Although I have tried using devices in pairs.
And sometimes I find the network broadcasting too much traffic. I do not know how to tackle that.
I have had much better performance with station bridge. But yes... I have read at many places that "wds" works better, I am yet to figure out how.

Could you explain why station-bridge? From manual, describing station-bridge:
This mode is safe to use for L2 bridging and should be used whenever there are sufficient reasons to not use station-wds mode.

So I switched to station-bridge and I did notice longer uptime for wireless connections and quicker reconnect (I did not test performance however). I use 2.39 firmware with 5.9 ROS for stations and 5.14 for AP btw.
