…for devices with switch chips. For the OP's device, it looks like everything devolves to software bridging, so I'm not sure reconfiguring for a single bridge will provide any useful improvement. (Block diagram)
This is the first time I have seen a mention of the RBM11G. But it is based on the same SoC MediaTek MT7621A as the RB750Gr3 and RB760iGS, but evidently no use of the switch ASIC that the MT7621A has built in.…for devices with switch chips.

I wonder why the MT7621A was chosen for the board, if they didn't intend to use the switch?
No, there can be an number of issues when using switch chips or not. In this case the Bridged VLAN on physical interfaces scenario is likely to cause problems.…for devices with switch chips.There are a number of issues with using multiple bridges with VLANs

The Development release notes for 7.1rc5 has the following:It's possible the diagram is misleading, and the device really does have a 2-port hardware switch. The output of "/interface bridge port print" will tell.
dlink switch logging does not show any useful?I must do some more reading and convert over to a single VLAN-aware bridge, strangely I have no issue when the RBM11G is connected to a TP-Link T2600G-28TS switch but
the D-Link DGS-1510-28X switch just does not accept my current Vlan configuration?
Many thanks to you both for this very helpful advice !
They will be tagged on egress...All of those VLANs (3500, 3508, 3510, 3518, 3520, 2528) will be tagged on egress/ingress on the physical interfaces.
D-Link switches have always been a pile of junk...why this config works with TP-link and not D-Link switch?

D-Link is a relevant player in enterprise switching since years, corporate models offer features still unavailable in MikroTik, in fact TP-link is behind D-link in matter of switchingD-Link switches have always been a pile of junk...why this config works with TP-link and not D-Link switch?
