using 2 wn3000rp repeaters in cascade
hi i have a large area to cover with no hope of cabling. there are multiple floors and this is my current setup. now the problem is the 1st repeater works fine and gives me internet access. ...

You do NOT, repeat NOT, really want to daisy-chain repeaters - an ethernet cable is less than 0.25" diameter. and can be unobtrusively run.
Im sorry but you are very wrong about that. Using the same example, if you have 1mbbs on DSL internet connection, and have a normal Router of 54 mbps, you could put a repeater and it give you 27 mbps, a second repeater in cascade 13 mbps, a thirth repeater in cascade 6 mbps and so on. Even with 4 repeaters in cascade, you still can enjoy your 1 mbps internet connection. Please be serious.
