Hello @renukaputtappa 

It sounds like you are wanting to connect three Nest WiFi Router units via Ethernet. This is possible and works very well, but only if they are connected in a specific way. One of the units will be set up as a router + firewall. That one should be the only one connected directly to your internet service. The other two units will be bridges / access points, so they will need to be connected to the internal network created by the primary router / firewall unit. That can be done by connecting them in to the LAN Ethernet port on that primary unit, using one or more inexpensive, unmanaged Ethernet switches to make more ports available. When connected in this way, they will all be part of a single network, and client devices can "hand off" seamlessly from one access point to another throughout the home. They cannot all be connected directly to the same "outer" network without introducing significant complexity and giving up much of the seamless hand-off functionality.
