I would check the following, even if you've already tried (consumer
routers can be a little funky):
* Is DHCP really off ?
* Are both your WiFi boxes using different LAN IP addresses ?
* Can you reproduce the problem connecting to either box alone ?
* Can you reproduce the problem roaming between boxes ?
* Is either access point advertising IPv6 ?
You may also want to investigate DD-WRT or another alternative firmware
for your WiFi only router. This may give you greater control over the
network and stop these kind of problems.
