D-Link Now Shipping All-in-One 802.11N Router With Built-In Photo Frame, Storage and More

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA, Oct 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
D-Link, the end-to-end network solutions provider for consumers and
business, is now shipping the industry's first all-in-one home 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(R) Xtreme N(R) DIR-685 sports a stylish upright design for easy
viewing of a vibrant 3.2-inch LCD screen. Powered by FrameChannel, it
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. Frame
content is easy to manage at www.internetphotoframe.com.

The network attached storage (NAS) feature supports both UPnP(R) server
functions and BitTorrent(TM) downloads with the ability to store up to one
terabyte of data on a 2.5-inch SATA drive that mounts easily into the side
of the DIR-685. A built-in FTP server allows users to access documents,
photos, music and other media locally through the home network or remotely
across the Internet.

Two USB ports enabled with D-Link's unique SharePort(TM) technology allow
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(TM) technology for conserving energy in
several ways, including the ability to automatically recognize port
activity and cable length and adjust power usage accordingly. It also can
consolidate all functions into a single device instead of many separate
products and use the idle mode to automatically turn off power to the LCD
screen when not in use.

A Wi-Fi Scheduler can be programmed to turn off the router's Wi-Fi module
at a pre-set time, and the power adapter complies with Energy Star
specifications for average power savings of up to 30 percent. The same
power-saving features located in the gigabit ports are also included in
the NAS drive. Based on feedback from industry experts and pre-production
reviews, fan noise has been reduced to normal levels in the currently
shipping products.

"This router is the ideal solution for power consumers who want the
ultimate 'all-in-one' networking device," says Daniel Kelley, senior
director of marketing for D-Link Systems in Fountain Valley, Calif. "Not
only does it offer full functionality as a router/NAS storage/print
server/FTP device, it is attractive on any desktop, environmentally
friendly and Internet secure."
