Product Description
Xtreme N Storage Router
Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description At first glance, D-Link's Xtreme N Storage Router might be mistaken for a basic digital photo frame. Take a closer look, and you will find that this 2009 winner of the prestigious Red Dot Product Design Award is more than a photo frame. It's also a high-performance router that lets you create a wireless network in your home, so you can share high-speed Internet access with multiple computers, game consoles, and media players. You can also use the Xtreme as a network-attached storage (NAS) device that stores your files and prints and shares photos, iTunes libraries, and more.

Behind the photo frame hides Gigabit Ethernet and USB connections. View back. | High-Speed Connection and Full Wireless Coverage for Ease of Use
With an integrated 802.11n high-speed band and a 2.4GHz signal, the D-Link Xtreme lets you experience full wireless coverage throughout your network. The powerful MIMO antennae are internal, which means that you can enjoy faster speed and longer range without sacrificing the router's stylish appearance. The Xtreme also includes Ethernet Gigabit ports for file transfer rates up to 10 times faster than the standard 10/100 Ethernet ports. And thanks to the router's touch-sensitive buttons that let you easily add devices to your network, multiple computers, printers, and even game consoles will be available at your fingertips. Network-Attached Storage for Easy File Access
High-speed connectivity is only the beginning. The DIR-685 can also double as a network-attached storage device (NAS). It has the ability to hold a compact 2.5-inch hard drive. Simply pop open the cover and slide in the drive (sold separately), and the router's built-in NAS functionality will do the rest. With the Xtreme N Storage Router, you can safely store files on your home network and access them wherever you go. Take your laptop with you, connect to the Internet, and then retrieve your files from the Xtreme using the router's built-in FTP server. BitTorrent Support and Video Streaming for Versatility
The Xtreme includes the latest BitTorrent software support, so you can access and store digital media directly from the Internet without the need for your computer to be turned on or connected. For extra large files, you can get the download process started and then walk away with the confidence that your video clips or songs will be on the system's hard drive when you return. The built-in Universal Plug-and-Play server allows you to easily stream video files through a compatible media player onto your television. You can even stream files from your Xbox 360 and PlayStation3 gaming systems. Digital Frame Lets You Share Photos, Print Photos, and More
The Xtreme also includes FrameChannel software. Once you set up a free account, you can begin sharing your latest photos with family and friends using Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, and other popular photo sharing sites. With two USB 2.0 ports, you can even connect to a printer to print your photos. Better still, you can use the Xtreme to subscribe to your favorite RSS feeds. Get the latest news, stock updates, sports scores, time, date, weather conditions, and more--all directly from your frame. What's in the Box
Xtreme N Storage Router, CAT5 Ethernet cable, stand, power adapter, and CD-ROM with Installation Wizard and product documentation.

 DIR-685 review June 29, 2010
Andre S. Rodrigues (SP, Brazil)
This device is really good, I didn't notice the Guest WiFi, that works preaty fine and the main motivation to buy this device was the Bit Torrent manager that works perfect.
 Lacks DSL modem functionality! April 29, 2010

I bought this product hoping to replace my current ADSL modem/router by one device that also adds USB network devices, and a Network storage. But due to my ignorance, I realise that this does not replace the DSL modem! Pity, I still have to keep two devices ON all the time.
Fantastic Product for average home users March 31, 2010
Nathaniel MacIver (Malta, NY)
Pros: Reliable, photo frame/ framechannel feature, Shareport, network scheduling, guest zone, WPS setup functions. Attractive design. Compact and easy to keep in a living room
Cons: Terrible touchscreen, Not a dual-channel radio router, not worth $300 MSRP. I was able to buy this from amazon new at half price, and I suggest you do the same.
I bought this router to replace an old/loud/overheating wireless G netgear MR814, and I was not disappointed. The router has served my 2 laptops, 1 desktop, and 2 mobile devices without a fuss once its been set up. Out living room is about half the size of a normal living room, so the small digital frame is still very visible even from the other side of the room.
Overall, I love the design direction that D-Link took with the DIR-685, and I hope more routers will follow the idea in the future.
 Great box March 28, 2010
C. Remes (Chicago, IL)
Solid little box that delivers tremendous performance in a very tiny and cheap package. I have this unit connected to a 60Mb metro-ethernet circuit (gigabit hand-off from the carrier). During testing when the carrier had rate limits disabled I was able to push this box to download at a rate of 500Mb and upload at 400Mb (using the default 1500 byte MTU). On LAN-to-LAN transfers it also performs extremely well.
Hang a few gigabit switches off of this unit and you have yourself a nice little router for a SOHO. I highly recommend this product.

B. Braithwaite (Salt Lake City, UT)
The DIR-685 is numerous products in one compact router. I like the router's capabilities, ease of setup and configuration as well as it's range and speed. It uses all the latest innovations to allow it to compete against the best routers on the market. The compartment for a hard drive and the USB ports allowed me to set up my printer without having to use an additional wireless print server and now I have additional storage within the unit. I'm excited to figure out what to plug into the other USB port so it can be used on the wireless network. Because of these multiple uses, it saves so much space! These are the practical uses and then there are the fun things that can be done with the LCD screen. The applications are fun and useful. It's a small screen but I didn't get it for the LCD and at the cost for it's practical uses the screen and it's applications are a fun bonus!
