I need to do something very much like this quite soon now so keep us informed as to how you get on.

I suspect that the router thinks that all 192.168 addresses are on the local network and won't forward packets in this range to the WAN port. Can you not connect straight to the modem, set it up and then reconnect the router? Or do you need to access the modem later on?

Only one appliance should be set up as a DHCP server - not sure which would be best though.
