If you have 1.03 firmware and you are generally happy with it, then consider going into the Set-Up Tab > Wireless Settings > Manual Wireless Settings (third/bottom option on center page)
Set the Channel Width to Auto 20/40MHz. This should improve the speed of your wireless connnection on the LAN if you were previously on 20Mhz.
-
If you are using an Intel adapter, you will need to set the Channel Width to 20, as their adapters only operate at this Channel Width.

I have the Intel Pro 2915 a/b/g and it works with auto... DIR-655 though.
-
I will stick with 1.02 I get killer speeds :P
-
Does this change the literal band width (frequency spread for communication over)? Or does it allow adding a second band above/below the first? I am envisioning something along the idea of SSB for all the HAMs out there.

The 40 Mhz range is two channels that do not overlap. (e.g. 1 and 6 or 1 and 11, etc. ).
The channels can not be selected by the user.

Thank you kindly that was very informative.

Minor correction: The two channels used in 40 MHz mode are n & n + 4 if n < 7, or n & n - 4 if n > 6. For example, channel 1 & 5 or 7 & 3.
The main/primary channel can be selected by the user (same as in 20 Mhz mode, simply turn off "auto channel scan", and pick your favorite channel from the pull-down menu. Lycan was correct that the extension channel cannot be selected, as it follows the formula above.

Auto Channel Scan is the Devil :o
-
Auto Channel Scan is
a bad idea -- in my case it picked a channel that had TWO other wifi networks on it.
-
Auto Channel scan was only put in the router so it would not stomp out your neighbors WiFi . "friendly wifi"
But I don't like my neighbor, so i keep auto chan scan off.
