Does old-wifi-package, capsman, etc work OK in v7 ?

Fri Dec 10, 2021 10:10 am

Can I upgrade cAP AC boxes to 7.1 and wifi and capsman and everything will still work? It's only wave2 package that doesn't work with <256Mb, and doesn't work with CAPsMAN ?

So I could still upgrade them to 7.1, and benefit from cake queueing on my speed-restricted guest-WiFi and stuff maybe?

If you do not install the wave2 package, capsman will work just like before.
Wave2 package is optional and only for a few devices.

Hi CarlOS, on my capac I copied my wireless config and then removed the old wireless package to make room to allow 7.1 stable to load.

hAP AC2 as the router... 3 cap XL AC.
Installed 7.1 on everything.

Worked just like ever other caps install.

Exception was that sometimes things seem to not update in winbox until I closed winbox and came back.

I am running a fairly simple home network with CAPSMan with two cAPacs.

Is the any reason why I should NOT upgrade to V7?

What are the advantages of V7 for a SOHO user like me?

What are the RISKs of upgrading everything to V7?

Wireguard and Zerotier have been compelling reasons for me to update my installs.

Had some trouble with recursive routing... But I am looking to get away from that anyways.
