To configure a wireless access point (AP) in RouterOS, the only required software package is wireless. All other functionalities like DHCP or routing are optional depending on the network setup. The system package is always present and not removable, so it's not listed as a required dependency in package selection.
MTCNA Course Material - Wireless Configuration Basics:
"Wireless functionality is provided by the wireless package. Without it, no wireless interfaces are present or configurable." Rene Meneses MTCNA Guide - Wireless Module:
"Only the wireless package is required to configure an AP. DHCP is used optionally for IP address assignment." MikroTik Wiki - Packages:
"The wireless package is responsible for enabling WLAN interfaces and features such as AP mode, client mode, and security." Other packages:
* advanced-tools: includes tools like bandwidth-test and traffic generator
* dhcp: only needed if the router is issuing IPs
* routing: required for static/dynamic routing but not AP setup
Only Option A is required.
