I have two wireless routers (A & B).

I'm not 100% sure but I'm thinking you will have to assign static IP's to all clients and then Set the routers up in Adhoc mode whick means DHCP will be turned off and the routers will basically be access points. That is, if you want to connect the routers wirelessly.
However if the two wireless routers are close enough, then all you would need is a CAT5e crossover cable to connect the two routers, and then turn off DHCP on one of the routers. One will be basically a switch and the other will still function as a router. Just remember that when you have the two routers on the same network. You only want one providing the DHCP services.
Hope this helps. Maybe someone else with some more experience will come along and help you out. I have been interested in Adhoc wireless for some time now and have done some research on it through Google searches, but right now I don't have the equipment to play round with it. Maybe one soon. Who knows. ;)
