I need to access a wrt300n router over the net.

The router is at a business who gets wireless PTP single through a
radio that has an assigned IP address.

Thruthfully, this just boggles me a bit.

How can I get access to this?

Assuming that when you said "I need to access a wrt300n router over the
net." you want to access the router and not a computer on the LAN. Did you
read the users manual? Secifically the section on remote management. The
manual is available here:

Yea. I read that in the manual. Remote management is enabled but its
still going to have a 192.x.x.x address because its inside the wireless
network. How can you gain access to it through the ISP network.

The ISP wireless radio has an assigned static IP address and then the
router has a DHCP assigned address.

If the ISP is using private addressing, they have already used NAT. Some
ISPs do this to conserve their public IP addresses. It wouldn't be possible
to connect to any private IP address over the Internet. You should have the
business call their ISP and request a public IP address. If they can't
provide it, they may be able to forward the port, but of course that assumes
ISPs NAT router always has the same public address mapped to the private
network that your client is using (and that the client's private address
does not change). If none of that is possible, look at either switching ISPs
or going to a secondary method of remote management (dial-in, DSL, etc.) Or
an "Inside-out" solution like a PPTP VPN initiated from the business end.
