Daisy Chaining Routers
So....

Today I switched to AT&T Uverse from comcrap. I'm having a few issues...

The setup:
I live in a guest house that is disconnected from the main house at my address, which is my aunt's house.

There is a driveway between us.

I have a CatV line run in a burried conduit from her house to mine.

I have 2 basic needs: I need fast internet for my comp. And my cell uses VoIP so I need wireless...

The wireless in my aunt's house, because of geography and the way this house is built does not reach my house.

The problem:
When I connect my computer straight into the Uverse Router that is integrated into the modem, I get BLAZING fast internet speeds, an A on the speetest.net ping test...

When I connect my wireless router (Linksys WRT54G Running DD-WRT) my speed is GREATLY reduced. I got a D on the pingtest.

AT&T customer support is no help and their firewall cannot be turned off.

So... I have my comp set as the DMZ on my router... should I set my router or my Comp as the DMZ on U-verse?

For future personal reference, what was the problem and how did you fix it?

We tried range extenders so that our neighbor could use our internet. That was a disaster. They were never able get a strong signal (despite extenders that advertise blocks of distance, etc) and our personal connection suffered greatly. And VOIP takes a lot out of our speed as well (I can't talk on the phone if I'm downloading something).
