I'm trying to learn about daisy chaining (bridging) cheap routers for faster, reliable internet connections and speed. I want a completely wired network for computers in 4 different locations.

I connect ethernet cables from lan port to lan port as follows:
Main router lan port ------- lan port Router-1 lan port ------- lan port Router-2 lan port ------ etc.
Main router IP address = 192.168.1.1, DHCP server enabled, router password=boss
.... 2.4GHz, channel=1, SSID=worker2, password=fatso....... 5.0GHz, SSID=worker5, password=fatso
Router-1 IP address = 192.168.1.2, DHCP server disabled, router password=bull
.... 2.4GHz, channel=6, SSID=cow2, password=calf ....... 5.0GHz, SSID=cow5, password=calf
Router-2 IP address = 192.168.1.3, DHCP server disabled, router password=cat
.... 2.4GHz, channel=11, SSID=kitten2, password=tiger....... 5.0GHz, SSID=kitten5, password=tiger
Router-3 IP address = 192.168.1.4, DHCP server disabled, router password=dog
.... 2.4GHz, channel=3, SSID=puppy2, password=wolf ....... 5.0GHz, SSID=puppy5, password=wolf
Router-4 IP address = 192.168.1.5, DHCP server disabled, router password=hat
.... 2.4GHz, channel=8, SSID=rack2, password=brim ....... 5.0GHz, SSID=rack5, password=brim
Will this configuration do what I want as described in items 1-3 above?
Will the internet connection be slow if users at all 4 access points are watching video simultaneously?
- Each location will be isolated from every other location so others cannot see or access data from another location.
- Each location is a self contained network that can have a wired network printer or wired NAS that can be accessed from the wired computer at that location. But no other location can access anything at another location.
- Each location can have wireless connections to laptops, tablets and cell phones.
