If you mean that you are going to disable DHCP on the router's and have a single gateway, then yes. If you are going to have 3 gateways then you'll have to either:

- double port forward (setup the forward in multiple routers in a row), or
- DMZ the inner router inside the outer router

In either case our software can help you, but it will be difficult to maintain.

There are almost no good reasons to segment a home LAN, and there are many bad side effects.
