Firstly only modems go in to bridge mode. 

 

Your issue is you have multiple layers of NAT and Firewall. The easy way to get around this, would be to turn off the firewalls on the other two routers, turn off NAT, disable the DHCP servers on both. Connect the routers via their LAN ports Dont use the WAN port. Essentially this setup should turn the DLINK and TPLINK routers in to switches with a wireless AP. The ISP modem/router will do all of your Firewall, NAT and DHCP duties. But this setup will make what you have one big network as opposed to having the two routers segmented off from each other.
