Abstract: Convergence is the name of the game in this world and it seems that technologies that seemed to be always slated for separate devices are being merged into one feature packed super device. D-Link follows this convergence trend with the DIR-685 Xtreme N...
Abstract: When I unboxed the D-link DIR-685 that D-Link sent me to check out, someone messaged me on Live Messenger and said, “The DIR-685 is overkill”. I laughed and thought about it. It does have a lot of features that a router doesn’t really need...such as a ...
Feature-rich color LCD screen doubles as digital photo frame. Fantastic streaming capabilities for online photos. Turns SATA drives into instant NAS.
LCD and touch buttons don't always respond fast.
Though pricey, the D-Link DIR-685 offers far more for consumers than most other Wi-Fi routers on the market in the form of unique multimedia extras....

Abstract: You’d be forgiven for mistaking the D-Link DIR-685 Xtreme N Storage Router for a cheap digital photo frame, at least from just glancing at it. Dominated by a 3.2-inch LCD display, and lacking obvious giveaways such as external antennas, it’s a stylish...
Gigabit WAN and LAN w/ jumbo frame support, Wirespeed Gigabit routing, Wireless Guest zone, NAS performs better and has more features than other router NASes
Fan screams like a banshee, Screen too small, FrameChannel wont work behind another router, Membrane switch failed on review sample
2.4 GHz Draft 11n router with slow built-in NAS, too-small front panel LCD photo display and very noisy little fan....
Very interesting and very promising. It's more expensive than a standard router, but the fact that it does have a small photo frame (it's only 3.2 inches) and space for a 2.5-inch laptop hard drive makes it impressive. All of these features work...
