D-Link DIR-685 Overview

The Xtreme N Storage Router from D-Link is a unique combination of network hardware. Not content with delivering yet another unitasking network router, D-Link has added network storage and digital picture frame capabilities to an otherwise utilitarian device.

The router features a 2.5" hard drive bay, which can accommodate a SATA disk. You'll be able to access this disk from any computer on your network. The device also features 2 USB ports for external storage and printer connectivity.

You'll have the ability to stream media that is stored on an installed or connected drive to UPnP AV-capable devices. It can also display pictures on the integrated 3.2" LCD screen. It can also display photos from your Flickr stream, Facebook, and other photo sharing sites: another reason to convert that old boring black box on your desk into a full-featured digital picture frame.

Of course, the device is a fully-functional wireless Internet router. It allows multiple computers on your network to access the Internet through a single cable or DSL modem. It uses the high-speed 802.11n wireless protocol, and features 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports, for superlative performance.

An integrated firewall protects connected computers from malicious attacks from computers on the Internet. It supports wireless encryption, ensuring that neighbors cannot access your wireless network.
