Nothing else I have drops off the network, only the Apple TV.

Does that mean you stopped using WAP or WEP encryption? Restricting access to your router by MAC address doesn't provide any encryption, so a miscreant in close proximity could read all of your wi-fi traffic (and, yes, there are people who really do that). That's not a particularly good idea if you live in a populated area.

I'm actually using 1 wireless router (D-Link WR1310) and 1 Airport Extreme Base station. The D-Link is connected to my modem and the AEB is connected to my D-Link. I use my AEB for my Apple TV only and it is MAC enabled.

Good advice indeed. I just might revise my setup.
Having the Apple TV dropping out and not reconnecting automatically is so annoying!
