i suspect your client is getting entirely confused when it jumps between 
access points. it will retain its original IP address and therefore 
become stranded.

normally i would recommend loading an open source firmware on to them, 
but none of them are listed on dd-wrt.org

i assume you are plugging their wan ports in to your local network? 
instead plug in one of the lan ports and disable the wan ports as much 
as possible, and disable dhcp (or set it to static) on all but one 
device. ip routers will still bridge between the wireless and lan ports 
so you should be good to go.
