Okay, so this should be easy then.
First thing to do is to delete default configuration because you are using device as switch/AP so there is no need for dhcp server, firewall rules etc. That is job for your router.
Go to System -> Reset configuration. There check box that says no default configuration and press reset configuration.
After your device boots back up you can access it via MAC address through winbox.
First thing i would do is to create off bridge management port.
Go to IP -> Addresses and there create new entry, for address put anything you want, for eg 172.16.0.1/24 and interface choose ether1.
Now you have separate port for management in case you did something wrong so you don't lock yourself out.
When you did that you can connect to ether1, assing static IP on your laptop or PC (for eg 172.16.0.2, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway you can put 172.16.0.1)
After that go to bridge, create new bridge and then in bridge port simply add all interfaces except ether1.
Then go to IP -> DHCP client and create dhcp client with interface bridge.
Now connect your AP/switch to your router and it should get IP address via DHCP. It doesn't matter which port you use as long as you don't use ether1.
I presume you know how to config wireless ?
Also one more thing, if you want you can create interface list MGMT and add ether1 to it then set that you can access device only on port that are members of that list.
