After rebooting i cannot access the wireless-network for configuring the device. Pressing the reset-button for resetting the configuration does not work, the wifi is not showing up anymore.
I already reflashed the firmware via the netinstall methode, using the -e and -r flags, but it did not change anything. Is there anything i’m missing? I read somewhere that the wifi-drivers in routerOS7 were rearranged in some way, which would make the installation of additional packages necessary - does this apply to my case? In this context I found the wireless-7.15-mipsbe.npk file in the download section my device and thought that it might must be installed, but netinstall rejects it immediately.
The thing you might be missing is that when netinstalling to a WiFi device, it’s best to pass both the base “routeros” package and the one (!) wireless package most relevant to the hardware. You can give it as many NPKs in a single step as you like, but everything else you can add on later. If you try to netinstall RouterOS separately from wireless, the OS doesn’t have the info it needs to set up the default configuration properly on first boot.

That’s best covered in the docs here, right up at the top.
does this apply to my case?
It applies in all cases. The only thing that page doesn’t make clear is what happens with a pre-ac device like yours, 2.4GHz only and b/g/n. I believe what you need is routeros + wireless. Give it a shot.
Thank you very much! This was the problem. I was not aware that you can push multiple NPKs in a single step and tried sending them one after another which led to the device rejecting the wireless image. In retrospective i now see what that little plus-sign after PACKAGE in the netinstall-cli help means
