Please help me how to set D-link 655 as Access Point

[EddieZ]

If you search the forum you will find all directions required. A recap:

On modem (internet gateway): set DHCP enabled
On modem: make the IP for the DIR static when possible
On DIR: Disable DHCP
On DIR: Set get IP to "Dynamic"
On DIR: connect WAN cable with one of the four DIR LAN ports

Link>Bridge Mode vs Relay vs Acess Point (AP) / Routers vs Dedicated Access Points (AP)

On DIR: setup SSID and wireless encryption

[EddieZ]

SSID is already present automatically and encryption is enabled/disabled by choice ofcourse.

DHCP on the modem and not router, why?

DHCP on the modem and not router, why?

Because DHCP makes a device like the DIR a router. Making the DIR an AP means turning off the router feature and let the modem handle the router features. The DIR just passes on the connected clients through wireless (and wired ofcourse), hence keeping all clients in the same subnet. When you enable the DHCP feature, you're turning it in a router again and you will need to create a different subnet since two DHCP servers on the same subnet will reek havoc on your LAN.
