I want to install two wired IP camera's around the garage. Both are connected to a simple switch/hub. Is it possible to connect the switch to the first EW-7206APg (in stead of a CAT5 cable from my router) and connect a second EW-7206APg to my router?
I'm doing the above, but with one IP camera. I can not see why it would not work with two IP cams that are routed by a switch/hub.

My wireless router is in the basement. There are places (top floor, back garden) that I lose the wifi signal on my wireless devices (iPhone, laptop etc...). Is the WDS also usefull to extend the wifi range?
Yes. I've just tested this, and it does not matter to what EW-7206APg (running in WDS mode) I connect, I still have access to my main network and internet.
Small note. I have set all my IP units to a fixed IP (just to make things easier for me)

Thanks! this really looks good.

Found that there is also a version with a build in switch:
Built-in 5-Port 10/100Mbps Switch
EW-7209APg builds in 5-port 10/100Mbps switch. You don't need a separate switch when you plan to connect the wired and wireless network.

It is compatible with other wireless APs and Routers.

So it should be no problem to combine it with the EW-7206APg.

Yes, WDS can be used to 'extend' the WiFi range.
