Networking (with Uverse) issues

Alright, here is my setup and goal.
My main Uverse Router is in our office room. There is a ethernet cable running from the office room to the living room connecting a set-top box for T.V. service. I am now adding a second router in the living room and have removed the ethernet cord once connected to the Uverse set-top box into the router (WAN interface).
There are several advantages to this setup. With this new setup, I should be able to connect my T.V. and accessories (Blue-Ray Player) hard-wired into the second router instead of relying on the wireless connection, for a stronger link. Also, now I should have a stronger wireless signal for the living room via the second wireless router.
Problem is, after everything is setup and (should've been) good to go, everything worked as planned - the stronger wireless signal (for the living room) is up and running, and all wired devices are up and running ... except for the Uverse set-top box.
Thoughts?
(Assume that all basic troubleshooting steps have already been taken [ex: rebooting the Uverse router, rebooting the second router, etc], as I have done everything in my limited-power to try and resolve this.)

Already done and failed.
What you might want to try finding the IP address of the Uverse box and make it the "DMZ Host". This is called different things depending on your firewall but the idea is to let all traffic through and ignore firewall rules.
For what it's worth, these are notes I wrote myself on how to configure the Uverse modem to just be a modem goddammit, in case a firmware upgrade wipes my settings out or something. Might be useful if you can make sense of them. I have DD-WRT installed on my router, so if you don't have that, I'm not sure how to change your IP range.
