I am using the RouterBoard 911 Lite 5 ac.
I would like to set this up as ‘ap bridge’ mode. But it gives an error, see pic attached.

The error message says it all. Your device ships with level 3 license (CPE), whereas you need at least level 4 license to operate in the AP mode.
You can use it only in bridge mode to connect another device as station
how can I upgrade to 4 license?
So can you suggest a Routerboard device that I can use, my use case is the following:
Routerboard is connected to a router and creating a wifi from it? The IPs assigned to devices on wifi should be given by the router (not wireless card).
You have to buy another license http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:License

Where do you plan to place the routerboard?
At home or in external environment?

In office/ conference setting
How many devices you plan to connect as wifi clients?
How far you will have clients from Access Point?
There are obstacles?

3-4 device. 10-20 ft away. no obstruction. But we do expect a lot of noise from other wifi networks.
The interference should be a problem if most of the channels are occupied.
In 2.4 GHz there are 3 non overlaping channels. 1, 6 and 11.
For 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz you can use:
