D-Link did the right thing by putting four gigabit ports in place, although that’s pretty much expected at this price point. And for the price (which still shows as $299.99 on D-Link’s site), we would have expected 2.4/5.0 GHz dual-band support. As it is, the...

We’ve seen routers with screens before – Belkin’s N1 Vision (see review at http://bit.ly/review1223), for example, has been around for more than a year. But although displaying the time and the status of the router on screen is practical enough, wouldn...

Ah, convergence, that buzzword of the 1990s – so often promising a lot, but delivering little. Evidently, D-Link is toying with the convergence concept with the neatly packaged Xtreme N DIR-685. This four-port Gigabit router features 802.11n Wi-Fi, a 3...
  • But the DIR-685 is very noisy and lacks features we’ve come to expect on a Nas. There’s also no ADSL modem or Homeplug in this all-in-one package and the Wi-Fi doesn’t have the 5GHz band enabled. Its £199 price tag is reasonable, si...

  • 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.
