As titled, bought both these from OcUK the other day. I can surf fine on them but can´t seem to get ports open for uTorrent at all... Driving me ABSOLUTELY NUTS.
I´ve tried opening the ports on both the AM200 and WRT54GL as I should have and still it doesn´t work (no firewalling issues either). I have tomato running on the latter and so far it´s great, but for the life of me I can´t get it to work at all.
Following this I tried to use the WRT54GL as a bridge but I´m obviously doing something wrong, seeing as the minute I select Router from the "operation mode" option in the AM200 I lose the ability to connect to the WRT54GL entirely, even though I´ve plugged the modem into one of the 4 LAN ports and also previously changed the WRT54GL´s IP address to accommodate this change.
Is there any step by step total idiot´s guide I can follow to set this up so I can see what I´m doing wrong? I thought this was a good place to ask since the combo seems like a popular one and the task is also common, it´s soooooooo frustrating.

Any help would be enoooormously appreciated and the winner will get good vibes their way for Christmas, at least four or five of them :)
 
ok my set up

AM200 ip 192.168.1.1 DCHP on etc (factory setup mainly)
WRT54GL ip 192.168.2.1 DCHP on (tomato)

ok port forwarding

find out what the WRTs IP is (192.168.1.2) or what ever its been set to.
AM200 needs to have the required port forwarded to the WRTs ip.
WRT port forward to the PCs ip.


All works fine for me.
 
Double nat'ing isn't necessary with the am200, just stick it in full bridge mode and give the wrt the public ip.
