I'm very new and only scratching the surface but have tried this with multiple hAP series and also with the wAP. Too simple
I have hAP AC (DHCP Server - setup unimportant)
adding wAP AC (simple extender or bridge) - method works if you add another hAP AC, etc. used as extender also.
Sorry for repeating steps previously mentioned earlier in responses but "if it works"
Power up new (extender) wAP (in my case) and no need to touch DHCP router yet ...
connect via Winbox,
FIRST - reset configuration (extender) , with No Backup and with No Default Configuration selected (a must to clear unwanted default settings)
NEXT - create a bridge and add interfaces (select ALL for simplicity)
THEN - open DHCP Client under IP settings and ADD your new bridge. *
be sure "ADD default route" is set to "yes"
LAST for this part - Reboot and connect a port to your (DHCP server) main router.
Connect Winbox to Main Router .... IP - DHCP Server - Leases and find your AP (hostname Mikrotik if you don't know IP)
Double-click lease entry for new Mikrotik .... Select "COPY" on the right side of Property Window ... choose your preferred IP Address (for me Gateway is 10.1.10.1 so I enter 10.1.10.2) and I CHECK the box for "use Source MAC address". click OK .... old entry should disappear on it's own. That is it on this device.
Reboot of new extender and it will grab your new assigned IP (if main router is setup correctly, nothing more needed)
below, is the entire configuration for the new AP (could probably remove Hotspot package to clean it up more, change system and supplicant identity, etc.
/interface bridge
add name=AP_bridge
/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] ssid=MikroTik
set [ find default-name=wlan2 ] ssid=MikroTik
/interface wireless security-profiles
set [ find default=yes ] supplicant-identity=MikroTik
/ip hotspot profile
set [ find default=yes ] html-directory=flash/hotspot
/interface bridge port
add bridge=AP_bridge interface=all
/ip dhcp-client
add dhcp-options=hostname,clientid disabled=no interface=AP_bridge
/system clock
set time-zone-name=America/New_York

This is my first post, I think and unsure what this post will look like.
Always wanting knowledge ... would love feedback.
