First things first: do you actually want to provide wireless LAN for your device
s (phones, laptops)? If so, in which room?

The easy approach actually requires non-crappy networking gear:

Step one is create a regular wireless LAN from the router you have in room B. It
 sounds like your ISP is giving you one of those ONT+Router combos.

In room A, set a router capable of acting as a wireless client (ie. a Mikrotik, 
for example). You can command this second router to connect to the first router 
using a common wifi link. Then you can connect any devices you want to the route
r in room A with a wired network.

I am not familiar with your devices, nor with any regular consumer-grade device 
that can do what I describe. I know for a fact it is possible with budget Mikrot
ik boards because I used to do this frequently.
