i assume u can access the mikrotik through winbox.
first thing is to make the wireless interface to act as a access point.
then create a DHCP server for the wireless interface
after that, try to connect to the mikrotik access point, if you succeeded, configure the mikrotik to connect to your internet provider.

set the unicast chiper, try using AES-CCM

edit: instead of modifying the default profile, why not create a custom one?

type this in the terminal:

/interface wireless security-profiles add name=wpa2_profile mode=dynamic-keys authentication-types=wpa2-psk unicast-ciphers=aes-ccm group-ciphers=aes-ccm wpa2-pre-shared-key=your-key-here

and then select this profile (wpa2_profile) instead of the default one.

what mini pci card that are installed? could you share the setting of the wireless interface that you are using in mikrotik?
it might be the channel width is set to 40MHz while laptops usually only support 20MHz channel width.
