All you've done is correct, it should work like that. Also make sure you give your 825 a different IP address than the 655. The 655 is standard 192.168.0.1 (I have the same router. smile ). So I would suggest 192.168.0.2 for your 825.
Also, make sure you connect your ethernet cable to a LAN port of your 825 and not the WAN port!
