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

Mon Dec 18, 2023 9:25 pm

Hello,
I just upgraded my routers to 7.13 and discover the /interface/wifi configuration command (better late than never, I know :( ).
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/vi ... d=46759946, https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... +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.

Re: Migration guide from /interface/wireless to /interface/wifi  [SOLVED]

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 :lol:

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 viewtopic.php?t=202476 (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.
