Not sure if this applies to API call but by terminal mk have created an alias That’s is you type interface/wifiwave2/ It will automatically replaced by /interface/wifi They have created this so script doesn’t break.

I would suppress error message “no such command prefix” during capabilities discovery…

Looks like the error (which is actually a WARNING level message) is slightly misleading and is caused by the integration just trying to detect wifiwave2 support. I have a 951G-2HnD which is pretty ancient by now and the integration still seems to be working just fine, despite the warning.

wifiwave2 is part of extra packages, it does not come with base routeros package and isn’t supported on all routeros devices so it shouldn’t be used by default
