Hello
I´ve done similar config for a friend, but only two floors.
One router is the main one, which is connected to the internet via cable-modem.
From one of the 4 ethernet ports in the back (Linksys WRT54G), I ran a ethernet cable to the second router, connecting to one of the its 4 doors so it can be configured as AP (not a router) and sharing the same IP range of the main router.
They SSID is different so you know which one you are connecting to.
Put them also in different channels to avoid freq. overlap and now 8 computers on each floor can share files and internet as they are on the same network.
I dont know about 3 or more, but you will might need a cable for each of the routers (max. 4, I guess), or if you want to be sure, install a hub between the main router and the other AP will do the IP trick.
You can also use a repeater AP but the ones I have played with didn´t give me much confidence.
I hope that helps
Rod
