All three routers have to have WAN connections to reach each other. If one router goes down, then it is no longer in play period. The other two can still reach each other.

In any case, if one know the MTU setting at the other end, the first thing to try is matching it on the MT.

Re: Untagged access with VLAN filtering - should Bridge be tagged or untagged ? [SOLVED]

In general, and to keep it SIMPLE, for the main router with DHCP, all vlans are tagged with bridge.
For MT devices not being the primary router, aka acting as an AP/Switch, ONLY the management VLAN needs to:
a. be identified as a vlan
b. be tagged on the bridge.
