I am trying to set up a client bridge on a WHR-G300N (call it B) to connect to another wireless router (A) which provides the Internet connection. I got to the point where B has connection to the Internet, but wired clients connected to B does not. Any help would be appreciated.
The only thing of note was that there wasn't a "Client Bridge" wireless mode on the Wireless->Basic Settings tab. There was a "Client" mode and the Network Configuration can be either Unbridged or Bridged. I chose the Client mode with Bridged selected.
After going through the setup, I could run the ping command on the dd-wrt's Administration tab and was able to ping external servers and the gateway 192.168.1.1, which is router A. But my laptop connected to the router B via a cable cannot access the Internet or ping Router A. It can only access the dd-wrt interface on B or ping Router B. The laptop is at 192.168.1.20 static. Setting it to DHCP didn't help. At this point, Router B has WAN IP: 192.168.1.139.
I did search the forum but didn't find any posting that can help with this.
Thank you!
p.s. Ran ifconfig on the command tab and got this in case it is helpful.

Can someone please give me a pointer or two? What should I check or try? I've double-checked my settings and they are set according to the guide. Any help would be appreciated.
