Hotspot Question/Repeater

I'm trying to setup a Hotspot router in a Nursing Home. Using Mikrotik 3.10 w/ Ubnt SR2 card. I have a couple dead spots that i'm trying to reach into using RB411 w/ R52 Card and WDS.

First Question - I've setup Hotspot on the Main Router and I get the login page but It keeps giving me "cannot assign ip address - no more free addresses from pool" ?? I've setup hotspot many times before and i've never received this error. I am not sure where I've went wrong here?

My next question is in setting up WDS i set the Main AP to AP bridge w/ dynamic WDS. I understand that I need to put the Hotspot and Wireless Card on a "bridge"? Then I set the repeater to AP Bridge w/ dynamic WDS? Is this all I need to do?

Thanks for the help!

It looks like that address pool reserved for the clients is full. Go to 'ip pool' menu and for 'ip pool used' for how many IP addresses are being in use.
