Ok, so your problem is that you are creating a LAN-to-WAN configuration, which means you are creating 2 subnets isolated from each other in some terms. What you should try is a LAN-to-LAN connection so all users will belong to the same network and can talk to each other.

  1. Connect to your main router and check DHCP is enabled and make it 192.168.0.1. Assign a static IP address to second router as 192.168.0.2 and third as 192.168.0.3.
  2. Connect to the second router and use 192.168.0.2 and disable DHCP server
  3. Connect to the third router and user 192.168.0.3 and disable DHCP server
  4. Connect Main router LAN to LAN to second router and third router.

So up to here anything you connect to any router using the ethernet port will be part of the same network.

I am assuming you would like to also have a Wifi extension as well. If so follow the next:

  1. Go to your second router and look for WDS settings or Wireless settings and select Enable Bridge Mode or Repeater Mode. Here you need to configure that Main router iswould be your DNS server (192.168.0.1).

  2. Configure the WiFi name with the same SSID of your main router wifi using also the same password and security type (WPA2).

  3. Once you are done repeat step 5 and 6 for the third router.

*This steps are all generic and they might vary depending of the brand of your routers *
