Hello,
Is there a trick to installing the wifiwave2 package on the cAP XL AC’s? I have 10 of these AP’s in production and when trying to install this package, I get the error it’s being omitted due to lack of space.
Any help/tricks to this would be greatly appreciated. All the AP’s at the present moment are running 7.10. I went back as far as 7.1 trying to install this package all with the error that I don’t have enough space.
Thanks for your help in advance!
No, it isn’t supported. Flash OpenWrt if you want a wave2 Wi-Fi driver.
cAP XL AC does not support wifiwave2 package as it is now, so don’t even bother.
Theoretically the wifi chip does support wifiwave2 but as you already found out by yourself, there is not enough space to host the complete package.
Now, if somewhere in future they would slim down that package, that would be another story …
It appears however it’s an all or nothing package, not much MT does with that package.
But we keep hoping … might also be useful for AC2, cAP AC and some others using IPQ4018 chip for wifi.
Sad. As it gives the hAP AC3’s a pretty substantial boost in performance.
Quite true ! Ac3 running ww2 is a very different device then it is out of the box without.
Thanks everyone for your responses. I might have to look at getting some cAP XL AX access points.
Doesn’t exist 
It’s cap XL AC
or
cAP AX
They do exist you are just being a prick. cAP AX’s are the same fucking size as the cAP AC XL’s.
Douche.
Not really.
Have you ever seen them side by side ?
I have. AX is bigger.
Check your facts before calling names, please.
I’m always amused when I see a just joined self-prophesied know-it-all, dismiss someone with much heritage on the forum and someone always so reasonable.
I think the pricks problem may be a lack of literacy combined with an overblown ego.
Looking at this page of facts…
https://mikrotik.com/products/group/wireless-for-home-and-office
Its quite clear there is only
cAP ax ( 228 x 48 mm )
cAP LX ac (Dimensions 191 x 42 mm)
Someone should prend une douche to clean the stench off them
Well, that’s the problem with “just joined”: they don’t have time to assess the ecosystem and don’t see who’s “always so reasonable”. Alas, the number of posts doesn’t necessarily tell any story, @anav and I are prime examples 
Just joined as in … 2012 ?
Plenty of time, I suppose.
Oh well …
Its all about #posts/per day MKX… 
I will stick to the slow lane and leave the tough stuff to real experts.
While you are in here racking up your posts per day, I’m out actually doing. Funny how you are basing someones expertise in this field by how many Mikrotik forum posts they have.
Just to make things straight: @anav is pretty helpful, he did save the day of many forum users. But he does it his own way (yup, he’s sometimes sort of an a*hole and does post more frequently than strictly necessary). Otherwise he’s a nice guy.
