Hello, I have an SG200 26 port switch and 2 basic Cisco routers. From my ISP I am going into router A. From Router A I am connected to another cisco router B as an Access point and connected to the switch. 10 Computers and Backup are wired to Switch. 3 printers and 4 computers are wireless connected to Router B.
My question is if I wanted to make sure that traffic between wireless clients and wired clients was at it's best is this the correct way to set this up? Or should I have Router B connected to the switch and if so how would that be setup?

Draw a network diagram
What are the cisco router models?
Are they all in a single broadcast domain?
How much traffic
are you using 802.11ac? 5ghz?
are you facing any issue? did you check the wireless interference?

So the configuration looks like this?
SG200 > Cisco Router B > Cisco Router A > ISP
Does the ISP plug straight into Router A or is there another device which is doing NAT?
I don't see why Router B needs to sit in between Router A and the switch, Router B (being used as an AP) can just hang off the switch as its just providing wireless access to the clients.
Are you using Vlans?
To be honest, with such a small setup, its probably working fine.
The connections the Wireless clients have to the network depends on the specification of the access point and the clients themselves. Moving Router B to hang off the switch will likely may no noticeable difference but its best from a 'design' perspective.
Hope that helps.
