The mikrotik wiki might be of help: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Wi ... ion-bridge

The "station-bridge" function can only be used between two Mikrotik hardware, you can't use it on the RB to connect to any non-Mikrotik wifi-AP.
You either need "station-pseudobridge" or "station-pseudobridge-clone", but it doesn't provide the full L2 bridging functions that can be done via "station-wds" (or via "station-bridge" between Mikrotik hardware).

If full bridging is required, you should either
* use "station-wds" with the current hardware you mentioned,
* add a mikrotik AP on the Asus side of the wireless link to use "station-bridge".
