Sure. I have a 655 and have attached a 4 port USB 2.0 hub. I have used a scanner, my Zune and a printer concurrently without issue. Keep in mind that multiple high-bandwidth devices, like a hard drive or something similar, will probably bring your router to its knees though.

I, also, have a 4-port hooked up.  I run a printer, a scanner, and a thumb drive.  I believe that you don't want to run a USB device that draws a lot of power from the USB source, though.

That's why you get a self-powered hub :) Then device power requirements are irrelivant since the power is coming from the hub, not the router.
