Even without modem mode you can still run your DIR655 in the hub DMZ but you'll need to change the base IP range of the hub if you are using the default 192.168.0 range on your 655.

I posted some brief details on the steps needed yesterday and a search should throw up some more detailed instructions but it sounds like you probably already have a good insight in basic router setup so maybe that's all the info you need.

One thing that may screwup running that way is the VPN but the rest should be OK. I ran a similar setup with a WNR2000v2 until I blagged a VMNG300 and bought a 655 myself.

It looks like the r28 firmware trial may actually be close as they've now closed the signups for trialists. Mind you that might just be VM realising they need to do something and opening then closing trialist registrations was something so they did it.

I'd be inclined to wait a little longer til true modem mode is supported - that way it should be a trivial swapout.
