Port Forwarding Not Working

[00quick00]

When I use uTorrent, it only downloads at around a quarter, sometimes a fifth of my my maximum download speed. This issue has been happening since I first installed uTorrent. I tried Port Forwarding but I'm still having this issue and I'm still receiving the Yellow or Red status icon. I have read the below topic but the issue remains.

Looks like I have 2 routers.

I would really prefer to not use it as an access point, oh well.

Use DMZ on the inner one and port forward the outer one...or the reverse.

Thank you Switeck!

I can now receive connections and I am downloading at my max connection speed!
