No workspaces is definitely not that. Workspace saves arranged menus. Maybe you want a Wireless workspace, with Wireless Registration table open, the Log window, the Wireless scan window. Call it Wireless Debugging and save as a workspace. Then maybe you need a Terminal workspace with 4 terminals.

You should not import a "Full router config" on a router that already has one. Either import it on a router with no config, or edit the file and leave only the parts that you need.

M33G is an older device and comes from factory with RouterOSv6 on it.
L009 comes with RouterOS v7. This means both devices had different OS and different test procedures done to them. Since ROSv7 has a different kernel and that the tests are different, these tables can't be directly compared.
