Apple TV LAN problems

I have a strange problem with my Apple TV connection.

It is obviously connected to my wireless network (checked preferences and there is an Internet connection) but it is not showing in router's DHCP client list.

To stream content from any of my other devices (Mac, iPad etc.) to Apple TV I have to change and save Apple TV's IP address manually. Then streaming works fine but only untill next time I try to use AirPlay.

Any help, please?

Thanks for response.

I've tried a lot of options in my router configuration panel (network types - n, b/g/n, b/g, channels, frequencies etc,.) but my Apple TV is still invisible in DHCP clients list.
