No...
In that topic router gets inet via Ethernet cable from the other router.
7. Connect an Ethernet cable in one of the LAN ports of the router and connect it to your other router. Do not plug anything into the Internet (WAN) port of the D-Link router.
8. You may now use the other 3 LAN ports to connect other Ethernet devices and computers. To configure your wireless network, open a web browser and enter the IP address you assigned to the router. Refer to the Configuration and Wireless Security sections for more information on setting up your wireless network.
But i need, that dir-658 gets network conection via wifi from another router (i have cisco e3000)
and share it via dir-685`s LAN ports

No...this router is only capable of being a host router or being turned into an AP.
