Using netinstall I do not believe wifiwave2 package is applied as well automatically.
(I am not 100% sure it can be done directly from netinstall, never tried that)
It can be added manually afterwards (which you will have to do or wifi will not work).
When you netinstall, there is an option to keep old config. Default this is not selected, so after netinstall without old config, default config will be applied.
As @Normis indicated (but did not “shout it out loud”): when doing netinstall, it is possible to upload (and install) multiple npks in single operation.
The default configuration is still there after a netinstall. By using netinstall it ensures it’s the “latest” defaults (since the default sometimes change between version, e.g. V7.8 to v7.9). If your configuration was default before netinstall, there is no need to use “save the config” option & in fact be better not to since it will use the newest defaults.
You can always get the default configuration using /system/reset-configuration but that essentially what happen when you use netinstall without saving the config, so should be no need for that.
