I believe the Uverse router is made by 2Wire. Unfortunately I have to use a 2wire router for my ISP as well and I have successfully done what you are asking. It works perfectly. You must ensure though that your 2wire and the dd-wrt router use different subnets and it work fine. Set the dd-wrt connection type to DHCP and manually set the Local IP to something like 192.168.1.1. My 2wire is using 172.16.1.254. _________________ Linksys WRT610Nv1

For my 2wire, I have TV devices that require dhcp so I put them on 172.16.1.0/24 and put the WAN interface for the Linksys into DMZ Plus MOde. Then I can turn on DHCP. 192.168.1.0/24 on the Linksys for the devices on the LAN subnet.
Yes that is right. Plug the wan port on the linksys into the 2wire. Leave the TVs plugged into the 2wire as well. Everything else will plug into the linksys router. Once I had all the settings setup in dd-wrt I had to reboot both routers a couple times and everything worked great.

I have a Asus RT-N16 behind a ATT RG 3600. (2 Wire)
Works as described above. On my N16 I did need to add this to the firewall script so that the WAN connect will stay up. Because the lease time is only 10 minutes on the WAN connection the lease will not get renewed because the DHCP ports are not open in the firewall and the connection will drop and reconnect at the 10 minute time. Should renew at the half way point of 5 minutes but cannot. I added this script to the firewall script and now the connection stays up. Before the maximum connection up time on the WAN connection was 10 minutes. Here is what I added:
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 68 -j ACCEPT

Interesting. I had never noticed the wan connection issue before but your addition to the firewall script seems to have cleared it up. _________________ Linksys WRT610Nv1

It can work, but due to 2wire's implementation of their firewall, some p2p programs may not work as expected. Everything *should* work with UDP, but TCP gets problematic behind two firewalls (or more aptly 1.5 firewalls). _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26

I know this thread is getting long in the tooth, but I thought I'd join in because it is possible to configure the 2wire device into bridge mode (No double natting, port forwarding issues).
For the setup, follow the double-nat instructions that cholywell gave in this thread, except make certain that ONLY the dd-wrt device is plugged into the ethernet ports of the 2wire.
Also, disable wireless and PNA on the 2wire.
Finally, go to Settings, Lan, and click on "Clear List". After a few web refreshes, the list of devices should be limited to only the DD-wrt. This is important because bridge mode won't work otherwise.
Go to Settings, Firewall, "Applications, Pinholes and DMZ"
Click on your dd-wrt device in the list (It may already be selected).
Choose "Allow all applications (DMZplus mode) "
Once you confirm the change, the 2wire will give the dd-wrt's wan port your external ip address. You may need to renew the dhcp settings on your dd-wrt device to reflect the change.
The only problem I had with this setup was that my iptv box, now connected to my dd-wrt box) would only show me a signal for a channel for about 3 seconds before seemingly dropping it If I change the channel, it works again for 3 seconds and then drops again. All channels did this, and changing the channel (even back to one that previously stopped working) would get it up and running for 3 seconds again. It seems like something is terminating the connection the iptv makes, but I'm not sure why.
