Right, assign yourself a static ip of something in the 10.1.1.x range.
Since your router has assigned you 10.1.1.2 via dhcp, lets use that.
You can assign the ip through the tcp/ip settings of your network adapter.
Now log into the backend of your router.
Goto Advanced, then Lan Clients.
Enter 10.1.1.2 in the IP Address field.
Enter your hostname/computer's name in the Host Name field. This is just what your computer is called on your local lan. Click Add.
Now goto the Port Forwarding section.
Click on User
Click Add
As Rule name, enter 'Bit Torrent' , Protocol: "TCP/UDP", Port Start: "6881", Port End: "6999", Port Map: "6881".
Hit Apply.
Configure your bit torrent client to use port 6881.
Alternatively, you if your bit torrent client supports UPnP, you might wanna use that. Although some users have reported that UPnP has issues with this router.
