A Question about BRIDGING MODE

Hello,

i set up my TP-LINK TL-WR741ND (Atheros) on gargoyle successfully.

And now i want to use it as a wireless bridge because i have no wire to
My printer, reciever and ps3.

I have chosen following settings:

Connection -> Basic -> Wireless Bridge

New Ip for my tp 10.0.0.140
Ip for my gateway (modem) 10.0.0.138
Bridge to lan / no repeating
setup up my wireless network and my wpa2 key.

My tp is now shown as gargoyle in my wifi.

But the LAN Ports are not available -> but if i want to use another access point/ethernet hub for using ethernet how it works correctly?

And what is if my wifi on tp has an error how can i reset for using ethernet on tp - if disabled? With reset button on hardware?

How many ports are available in wireless bridging mode on my tp?
think only 1 Port - or?

Must i plug a switch behind?

Do i really need a switch? Or is there another possibility because my tp has 4 ports...

THX

My topology is

Modem/gateway - 1st floor
No wire to the 2nd floor
Tp link wireless gateway - 2nd floor

ok i had to put a static ip address and now i can use the WAN Port on the TP LINK.

BUT -> Internet wont work.

I can access TP & my Gateway so the WLAN Bridge Works fine.

What is the problem now?

My gateway is a Pirelli PRV 4402N from telekom
