I have a 2 router network and am trying to figure out how to remotely access the interior router. Router A is the U-verse router that connects me to the internet. Router B is the router that manages my home network. Router B is connected to Router A via ethernet cable. Router B can be configured to enable remote access. However, not sure what IP address I should be using to gain access to Router B through Router A.
 
Solution
You will need to port forward on router A. It likely is port 80 but it may be 443. You may have to get tricky and use other ports if the u-verse router does not allow it or if the ISP has prevented you from using those ports. You should for example be able to port forward port 81 to router b on port 80.

Be kinda careful it is not recommended to allow administration of a router from the internet

Thanks Bill, will try and see how it works. I understand about the risks associated with remote router administration.
