1) Select any router as the leader. Configure DHCP on it so that there are several addresses outside the pool that it distributes.
For example: 192.168.1.1 router, 192.168.1.50-192.168.1.254 pool .
3) Set up the same name, password and wifi modes on all 3 routers. It is desirable - to spread all 3 networks through different channels or put an automatic channel everywhere.
4) Connect two master routers using lan ports of the main router also to lanport. Not wan, but lan. The point is not to disable nat, not configure the firewall, and so on. Why it works: lan and wifi on any router are bridged, so, in this case, the router acts as an access point with additional client ports. Or, in another way, just like a managed switch with wifi and your own personal address on the local network.

A couple of neat ways
In any case, leave dhcp and Internet access on the same. Those. de facto, in the first case, two routers will be used as banal switches, in the second - as WiFi access points.
