What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.

I would refer you to the User Manual for the A5 version to see if it has any options for installing 3G USB modems on the USB port. I believe some older Rev As had the ability.

I recommend that you phone contact DLink support for your region and ask which one, if any, supports the installation of a 3G modem.

If the 655 supports a internet connection thru the 3g USB port, the WiFi on the 655 should share out and connect with any wireless device connected to the 655's WiFi.

On the Setup > USB Settings page from the admin console, if 3G is one of the items in the drop down box then you can plug your phone into the USB port and use it for your Internet Connection.

Need to setup SSID name and password under Setup/Wireless.
Set up a Security mode and password, Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only or Auto under Setup/Wireless.

Save Settings and reboot. Your wireless devices should connect to the 655 using the SSID name and password you gave.
