How are the two routers connected?

If they are hard wired, then I think you have a problem with WiFi channels. The three non overlapping channels are 1, 6, and 11, if you set to channel 8 they are interfering with each other and anything around on 6 and 11.

Get netstumbler, do a scan and choose the least used channels in each location.

You'd expect a G router to cover most houses pretty well if there's nothing unusual in the building.
