Might try this and turn the 655 into an AP:

The 655 might not be compatible in this configuration. These routers are designed to work as the main host router and connected directly to the ISP modem. Then all other devices after it. You might try connecting the 655 to the modem then connect your firewall appliance to the 655 and put the IP address the firewall appliance gets from the 655 into the 655's DMZ so the firewall gets un-processed traffic.

I buy the dir 655 to remplace a linksys wtr54gl this accest points works greats until someone broken ... i think the dir 655 would be a nice choice but.. now gonna trie again another configuration..
thanks anyways FurryNutz
Long Live for you ^^
PD: if i used as lan router works fine .. as AP dosent work

There maybe an issue between the modem and router as well. I would recommend getting a DAP model AP from DLink which are designed for AP, bridge and relay on some models instead of using the 655. These are officially supported by Dlink and might work better for you in this case. DAP-1525, 1533 or 1522 or 1360 are some models.
Good Luck.
