Connection of routers in one Wi-Fi network
Could you please advise how to correctly implement the following type of LAN connection.
I have a router of the provider, which, at the moment, distributes the Internet via wi-fi. I would like to connect two more routers (ISP router -> router 1 -> router 2) to the network using twisted pair, so that all three routers give out Internet via Wi-Fi under one name (one Wi-Fi network for three routers with a single name and password), as well as to be able to give out Internet via LAN ports of router 1 and router 2. As far as I understand from your articles, the connection type “Access Point” in this form will not pass. Please suggest a way to solve this problem.
Thank you.

Hello. The task is clear.
The best way is, of course, to connect the routers by cable, exactly in the “Access Point” mode. Then we will have a stable connection, without loss in speed. But, you need one Wi-Fi network. And in access point mode, each router will create its own network.
But there is a solution to this. Try to set the same network name (SSID) and password on all three routers. I checked, this scheme worked for me. However, for two routers.
And the second way, connect the routers via wi-fi, in repeater mode. You didn’t write what models of routers you have.
I recently wrote an article about wi-fi networking with two (several) routers, if you haven’t seen it yet, take a look.
