If you use the normal upgrade proces (System / upgrade packages / Download and install) then 7.13 will "automagically" take care of required extra packages where needed (actually, the hooks are present in 7.12 since that's the one doing the download).
It's even so that on some device NOT having wireless capability, wireless package IS installed although completely unneeded (I already saw it on CRS326, a switch).
BUT ...
if your devices are 16-Mb Flash devices, I would strongly advice to STAY on 7.12.
The complete package (ROS + wireless) became a bit bigger then it used to be in the past because now default wave2 support is included in ROS package. So that comes on top even though it may not be needed for your setup.
Mikrotik is working on slimming down the total size again but until that has been done, stay on 7.12 unless there are some bugs/features which you really need. Be prepared then ...
As usual, try to test on same device with same setup in a lab-environment so you don't have to book a plane-ticket![:lol:]( "Laughing")
