You can:

1. Secure the plugs on all routers with zip ties or duct tape, or
2. On the office Windows clients, you can statically assign the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS entries in the Alternate configuration tab.

You most likely wouldn't want to turn on the DHCP server on Router 3, since the gateway IP address it will advertise is itself, and not Router 1. But in the off-chance that you can define the gateway on the DHCP server on Router 3, then this would be the best solution next to #1 above. So, for Router 1, you can set the range of IP addresses it can issue via DHCP from say, 192.168.x.51 - 100 and on Router 3; 192.168.x.101 - 150, depending on how many computers you have on either buildings. The two DHCP servers (Routers 1 and 3) should not overlap or you'll have duplicate IP issues.
