One thing you'll need to do on either the hub or the dir655 is alter the IP range as they both use 192.168.0 I'd suggest you turn off the guest network on the hub and then set its IP range to something like 192.168.20

Once that's done connect a hub lan port to the 655 wan port and power both up.
Check what IP the hub has assigned to the 655 (it's in the gui somewhere but I forget where) reserve that IP and put it in the hub DMZ. Turn off the hub WiFi - that seems to be what causes a lot of its instability.

Once that's done you probably can use the 655 setup CD.

I bought a 655 to go with the vmng300 I managed to get hold of. The wireless is miles better than the hub but I wasn't impressed with the GUI and I have had an occasion where I had to reboot it to get my phone to connect. I also confused it to the point of needing to reset it to defaults while trying to set up a scheduled email of its log using gmail (it doesn't seem to support SSL). The Superhub doesn't have a monopoly on bugs - I maybe should have got the Buffalo that supports DD-WRT but some reviews I saw put me off it.
