trying to set up dir825 ->dap1522 ->dir655

[sasq40]

so long story short we have have a detached house about 100feet or less from the main house. the 825 has a clear view of the house and it gets internet but its not great. I bought a dap1522 so i could wire it into the gaming systems to have internet there. Now im wondering if its possible to wire the 655 into the 1522 and reuse it as a router in the small house to all computers get better internet access. Thanks all input appriated

Yes it will work, turning off DHCP and plugging into a LAN port and not the WAN port would make the DIR-655 an AP(best) allowing the DIR-825 to serve DHCP and make sure to change default IP of the 655 to something like 192.168.0.2(default of the 825 is 192.168.0.1 and default of the 1522 is 192.168.0.50 so don't use either, use suggested or choose an IP in the same subnet aka 192.168.0.x that isn't also used by the DHCP server eg. 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.199), or you could just split the network up by leaving 655 settings default(easier but blocks file sharing and such in router mode) plugging it in via WAN port. You could have used a cheaper router that allowed repeater mode rather than use a bridge + router/ap = expensive.
