Default Which connection type?

After looking through the 'How to' threads, as well as, doing a search for the connection type I need, and browsing through the posts here, I find myself here. Here's what I need. I want to connect two wireless routers that would allow router B to have LAN functionality after being connected to router A, which provides the internet signal. At best I've been able to get the two to recognize each other, but I'm unsure of the actual type of connection that will give me my answer. I've played with the WDS settings, etc. but have been unsuccessful (as you can see) to get it to work. I've tried my best to understand what each type of setting can do, and I'm still a little lost.

I just need to know what type of connection is needed to allow it to happen. Bridge? Point to Point? Repeater? Something in the WDS I missed? That's my issue and would love to find my answer here after unsuccessfully finding it via another forum. Thanks in advance.

internet to wireless router or AP via CAT5

Wireless bridge AKA client bridge associates with AP / Router

CAT5 out of client bridge to hard wired devices

So if I understand this correctly the setup should be like this:

Cable modem >> Wireless Router A

Wireless router A >> client bridge << Wireless Router B

Wireless Router B >> Devices via cat5

Does that sound about right?

yes, but you can also connect to router B via wireless.

Client Bridge is a term used by users of DD-WRT firmware. if you buy a different wireless bridge it may use a differerent term for this configuration.
