Reviews of the D-Link Xtreme N Storage Router DIR-685
-
CNET Review
The Good: The D-Link Xtreme N Storage Router DIR-685 offers fast wireless performance, built-in network storage, photo frame, and a comprehensive set of networking features. Its Web interface is responsive and intuitive.
The Bad: The D-Link Xtreme N Storage Router DIR-685 is a single-band router that's more expensive than most, if not all, true dual-band routers. Also, its front-panel LCD/photo frame is too small, the network storage performance is slow, and it doesn't include a hard drive.
The Bottom Line: The D-Link Xtreme N Storage Router DIR-685 is a very good single-band Wireless-N router; however, its extra features hardly justify the price.
