so is RB4xx and what is your point?

his point was, it’s not dependent on RouterBOARD but wireless card and software.

really? And why RB4xx don’t have compression if is not routerboard dependent?..with any card do you wish and any “STABLE” version of ROS. You mikrotik guys are so smart sometimes.

Sorry, you are right. It’s an exception for this type of architecture:

NOTE: that RB400 series currently does not support Senao 8602 cards, Atheros AR5211 or older chipset
and Prism chipset based cards. Wireless compression is not supported on RB400 series devices.

This was disabled in RouterOS software as it was causing some problems. All other devices support it.
