I have two Dir-655's - router1 and router2.
Router1:
ip 192.168.0.1
subnet 255.255.255.0
DHCP enabled range = 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200
Router 2:
ip 192.168.0.2
subnet 255.255.255.0
DHCP disabled
Routers are connected to each other via LAN ports with a switch in between.
Both routers have the same wireless SSID with the same password.
I am able to connect wirelessly to both routers no problem.
I have a machine running a shared iTunes library which has a wired connection to router1. I also have an Apple TV wired to router2. My issue is if I am connected wirelessly to router2 I may or may not be able to connect to iTunes library. Conversely, if I am connected wirelessly to router1 I may or may not be able to play content from iTunes to Apple TV. I cannot figure out why everything works fine sometimes yet at other times I cannot connect devices between the two routers.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Is Bonjour running at both ends?
I would set up a DHCP reservation for all devices on the main router1.
Ensure auto obtain IP addressing is set on the devices.

The PC connected to router1 that is running itunes is not running Bonjour...no PC's connected to router2, so not running Bonjour on that end either.
I setup a DHCP reservation for the Apple TV on router1 and setup that static ip on the Apple TV. So far so good...it has been two days and no drops.

Just be aware that Bonjour services might be needed for some sharing and connections for iTunes.
