You can download it separately. It is on download page: http://download2.mikrotik.com/routeros/6.15/wireless-fp-6.15-mipsbe.npk
Normis, in wireless-fp is still minimal cell radius 10km. Have you plan add smaller value?
A lot of P2P links is 1 - 5km
This value has no effect for smaller cells, so there is no use in specifying small values.
I tried two P2P with SXT bridge (Nstreme). These lines were working well for months.
After upgrade to FP package both lines started disconnect every 30 sec. Signal 65/65, CCQ over 90%.
It seems FP package has big problem with Nstreme, because after disabling Nstreme lines are OK again.

enable debug logs and make supout.rif files, we can check why this happened. did you use v6.15 before? maybe the difference is not in the FP package, but RouterOS version in general?
I used v6.13 before.
Here are supout.rif and setting export file.
I did this first time, so let me know in case there is something wrong or missing.

My experience wit FP package (beside troubles with Nstreme):
I upgraded about 8 clients (411, 711, Sextant) - all OK.
I upgraded 6 SXTs (P2P bridge) - one of them didn’t reboot (reboot infinitely again and again) after installing FP package. Only downgrade to 6.13 helped.
I upgraded one Grove (AP) - same as bad SXT - only downgrade helped.
It seems FP package is not ready yet.
What is your experiece?

I would like to understand what happens if I enable wireless-fp on the AP but not on the customers’ RB… Does it work? Does it have issue or simply users won’t get improvements?
No changes for clients that are using a standard wireless package.
Are you sure? I saw ping improvements…
wireless-fp is awesome!
NV2 latency has dropped from a very jittery pattern of 2ms, 5ms, 20ms, 2ms, 5ms, 35ms to a nice and stable 2ms. On top of this it seems to have better throughput when using WDS.
These last posts exactly show how statements on this forum should be taken.
One says it improves, where the other (MT) states it can’t be in that specific situation, and then another uses wordings like ‘it seems’..
The only way to make a statement if something is really improved (or worsened) is by giving the full details and characteristics of the link of subject and the exact changes made and how.
So, make of antenna.
Wireless parameters, before and after the change
Traffic parameters, before and after the change
How and when the results of a change are really measured.
Just throwing some statements like “it seem to have improved”, my “signals are better”, or “jitter seems to be less” makes not a lot of sense if we don’t know if the underlying link characteristics not also have seen changed. Or, is the traffic flow and adjacent radio spectrum still the same?
All my links fluctuate at times. Due changing circumstances in the propagation or just the traffic. So, WITHOUT changing the software or its versions… How do I now know a certain claimed software improvement is really true or not just the result of some other data changing???
Even MT’s statements sometimes go wrong because real live working radio links in outdoor heavy usage spectrum environments might behave quite different to lab situations, or even between geographical areas.
I was not trying to make a statement, just sharing my experience.
We have tested on a couple of less critical links,
- RB911+StationBox point to point link over 3km
- Omnitik to Omnitik bridge between a portacom and main office, txpower set to 10dBm
- RB800+JRC24DUPLEX point to point over 5km, txpower set to 9dBm
All links had improved jitter. We only tested throughput on the Omnitik bridge setup and it was improved over previous results, going from ~30mbit UDP to ~50mbit UDP.
Completely non-scientific, but hey we saw improvements.
YMMV…
Yes I know, I wasn’t criticising you. I should have used different wordings, like; “making remarks”.
I merely used your remark as example.
But yes, you gave more info now which gives me more confidence indeed somethings improved. If I now find more others in the forum sharing similar kind of experiences it gives me (us readers) even more confidence. 
THERE IS new version, but THERES IS NO wireless-fp package inside “all-files” ZIP package!!! Why?!
