D-Link introduces All-in-One 802.11 N Storage Router

D-Link has introduced the network router that combines powerful 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity with network attached storage (NAS), USB device-sharing, digital photo frame, Internet content player, FTP server and Green technology in a sleek, compact desktop design. The D-Link Xtreme N DIR-685 sports a design for easy viewing of the vibrant 3.2-inch LCD screen powered by FrameChannel that displays device status via graphical gauges, and serves as a digital photo frame by showing digital photos, streamed video, weather forecasts and other live streaming Internet content in up to 1.6 million colors. The DIR-685 includes two USB ports enabled with D-Link's unique SharePort technology, allowing multiple users to wirelessly share USB devices such as multi-function printers (MFP), scanners, and external hard drives, from virtually anywhere in the home or office. It also features Gigabit ports for fast wire transfers. The DIR-685 employs D-Link Green technology for conserving energy in several ways, including the ability to automatically recognize port activity and cable length and adjust power usage accordingly, as well as by consolidating all functions to a single device instead of many separate products, and by using the idle mode which automatically turns off power to the LCD screen when not in use.
