Re: Device-mode changes are hilarious

I don't think the docs are that relevant to core concern.
no plan to make it avoidable while still keeping the device up to date. This is my main complaint.

device-mode should at lease be controllable – via some tool like netinstall or some "special package" or whatever.

Re: Api version response empty [SOLVED]

You may be right that it's related to recent changes. And I bet API would return version if you did a check-for-update request beforehand.

But if the user-manager package was installed, the version is in the NPK... so it should be populated in all cases.

Re: Which is the best 5G modem compatible with RoS7.

Log says otherwise - only MBIM is used unless you issue some AT command manually [...] Hence I figure what it shows for the FN990 comes from the MBIM messages alone. The last RouterOS changelog the FN990 was mentioned in was the one for 7.7 but at least it indicates that they did give that model so...
