I would recommend you find a new or used Thomson (Alcatel) Speedtouch 510 or 516 or 546, which is a simple ASDL2+ modem with simple 10/100 ethernet output, which you can link to your DIR-655 or any other router. It is set up default to bridge to your router.

I have one myself and it is beyond solid. Not one single minute of operational downtime in months other than when I go on vacation and I turn it off. These things have a legendary reputation as long as you are sticking to the simple modem models, not the wireless and all that - their wireless models and not as stable.

Its not sexy, its not a piece of art, but it just works and works - and that is all you need from the modem.
