I have 3 routers TP link TL-WR740N. I would like to build a single connection betweem these 3 routers. So any phone connected to the last router in the chain could access the bandwidth of all the networks.

Router 1: 192.168.0.1 (static) DHCP server: Enabled DHCP Pool: 192.168.0.10-100 Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Router 2: 192.168.0.2 (static) Gateway: 192.168.0.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 DHCP server: disabled
Router 3: 192.168.0.3 (static) Gateway: 192.168.0.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 DHCP server: disabled
Connect all three using ethernet cables using the LAN sockets - never the WAN. The only WAN connected is router 1 to the ISP.

Can i do this wirelessly, connecting wires between them is not possible as they are in different floors of different buildings. I just want to avoid the extra cost that will follow the drilling and renovating the holes. Sep 8, 2016 at 11:29

No because you would need to create a wireless bridge between the routers and then you would also need radio equipment to create your usable wireless network for clients. Or you would need to use a different firmware that might be capable of creating the bridge and access point using your existing equipment. Sep 8, 2016 at 11:46

How far apart are the buildings? If each building has its own Internet connection that you have access to then you might be able to create a site-to-site VPN. Again, you will need equipment and/or firmware that supports this. SoHo equipment is not designed for this. Sep 8, 2016 at 11:47

I researched about that. I havr come across a firmware patch that could create 2 SSIDs on a single router. So I have been thinking to use the extra SSID to create a bridge between the routers. Also will I get added speed of these routers or the final speed of the connection of the 3rd router. Sep 8, 2016 at 12:38

The buildings are not far away. The main problem is the location of the routers. The are located deep, one in the basement of the godown and another 2 in the office in the next building. Sep 8, 2016 at 12:39
