Did you restart transmission after making all the changes? Sometimes it (and other software) can be unreliable at changes whilst running.
However more than probable that is not the issue, so here is the check list with the most likely cause being #2
1) On the router did you assign a fixed IP to the MAC address of wlan0 2) Did you check that the IP address on the host had changed, either by manually restarting the WiFi or rebooting the machine, and then checking again with ifconfig that wlan0 had the fixed IP address that you think it should 3) On the router did you check, after rebooting the router, that the rule was there to forward both TCP and UDP from external port NNNN to intenal port NNNN 4) Did you check that transmission was set to use port NNNN as the communications control port? 5) Did you restart transmission just to be sure the new setting was activated and then do the check port test?Leave that box unchecked since turning it on will cause transmission to try both when it does not need to because you are doing the port forwarding on the router.
Also if you are p2ping with a private tracker make sure that DHT and PEX are turned off, or you will get banned from using the private tracker.
