I followed the tp-link(https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/227/) guide these are the logs generated by MT. I set 192.168.88.2 as the fixed ip for tplink. Here EA:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the tp-link router that needs to work as a wireless repeater and 88:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is some device that trying to connect with it. The only thing that I changed is that I fixed the wireless channel. The MT log is:
EA:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx@wlan1: connected, signal strength -71
defconf offering lease 192.168.88.48 for 88:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx to eth EA:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx without success

After modifying as per Mikrotik(https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/WDS_repeater_example) here is the configuration export. Wireless part:
0 R name="wlan1" mtu=1500 l2mtu=1600 mac-address=6C:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx arp=enabled interface-type=Atheros AR9300 mode=ap-bridge ssid="bad" frequency=2412 band=2ghz-b/g/n channel-width=20/40mhz-XX secondary-frequency=""

add bridge=bridge comment=defconf ingress-filtering=no interface=wlan1
add bridge=bridge comment=defconf ingress-filtering=no interface=wlan2

But, still log error: defconf offering lease 192.168.88.47 for 12:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx to eth EA:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx without success.
All the modifications done to MT were in safe mode. But, after reverting I can still ping the tplink from MT(Step 1). But, other devices not getting IP’s from it.
