Is there major differences to configure caps manager between ROS 6 and ROS 7? I have config for ROS6 but never configure it on ROS7. Can somebody help me?
Depends … as of 7.13:
If you use capsman in ROS7 with legacy/old wireless, no big difference expect it will be found in another part of the menu (wireless / capsman).
If using wifi/wave2 drivers, a bit different but conceptually still the same.
You still define channels, security, .. make a configuration and provision it.
Can you provide the current config?
/caps-man export
Then we can make an estamation of the difficulty.

This is from ROS 6. Working fine for me. Now i try to build it on new SXT R and where is ROS 7

Theoretical answer:
You can copy paste via CLI.
Using Winbox capsman menu is under wireless but using CLI it’s the same.
Practical question:
why do you move capsman to a device which has less processing power and less memory then Hex S ?
Or is this duplication to another place using SXT R as modem/router ?
Hex s is my home router. There are fiber link with SFP.
And SXT R is for the other place. There are only mobile internet.
There will be only one SXT R on the roof looking to cellular antennas site and two CAP AC.
I can make one CAP AC as capsman controller but maybe better do SXT R as capsman controller (SXT R will be router) and two of CAP AC will be capsman clients.
OK, clear.
I used to have SXT LTE as capsman controller with cap Mini and Cap AC, and Kid Control, and Wireguard, and traffic accounting, …
Worked just fine.
All devices is on ROS 7? Can i use capsman config from ROS6 on my SXT with ROS7? Do i need to upgrade my CAP AC to ROS7 for capsman?
Capsman is tied to wireless/wifi version.
So you do not need to upgrade cap ac.
BUT … now you mention it. Since ROS 7.13 it will be required on the controller to have wireless package installed or there will be no capsman controller.
What you can also do:
Upgrade those cap AC to wave2 drivers using wifi-qcom-ac.
MUCH better wifi.
And no wireless package needed on SXT R.
Different capsman setup but since you’re used to “old” capsman, shouldn’t be too much of a problem to configure it again.
Decisions, decisions, … 
What is “wave2 drivers” and what is “wifi-qcom-ac”?
And i should setup capsman controller on one of CAP AC?
And if i install wireless package on SXT - it will be the problem?
Maybe i can downgrade firmware to 7.12.x and make capsman controller on SXT withour wireless package?
Downgrade
I wouldn’t do that.
Sooner or later you have to upgrade and then you may run into problems.
Just add wireless package to SXT and see how it goes.
You can deal with wave2 drivers later.
Run capsman controller on SXT and try to use with my CAPs without upgrading it to ROS7?
Yep.
That’s what I would try first.
Thanks! I will try and give a feedback.
