Best approach for ptp using Wifi (wifi-qcom-ac driver)

Hey there,

hopefully I am not to blind to see the most obvious.

Recently I upgraded my two RBLHGG-5acD to ROS 7.16.1 and also installed the wifi-qcom-ac driver on them.
But now I don't find - as the documentation for point-to-point connections is only on wireless not wifi interfaces - the needed mode (ap bridge) in the settings. If this setting does not exsist (yet) in the wifi-section, is it the recommended way to stick with the legacy wireless driver package or should I rather use:
on the first RBLHGG-5acD
- Wireless mode: AP
- the "access list" in the wifi configuration section to allow only one client - the second RBLHGG-5acD - to connect

and adding a VLAN trunk on both interfaces to span my network over this connection which is not really a transparent L2 bridge anymore?

Thanks in advance for your help.

AFAIK the mode "ap-bridge" has been renamed to simply "ap", see:

The other side should be set in station-bridge mode, as both devices are Mikrotik:
