FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA, Nov 02 (MARKET WIRE) --
D-Link, the end-to-end networking solutions provider for consumers and
business, has received top industry recognition from PC Magazine for its
Xtreme N(R) Storage Router (DIR-685), praising the unit as "digital
convergence at its finest."
The DIR-685 is 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.
PC Magazine, one of the oldest and most respected publications serving the
computer industry, has awarded the DIR-685 its coveted "Editors' Choice"
designation, calling the device "one cool piece of networking."
Praising the unit for "mixing three disparate technologies extremely
well," magazine reviewer and networking expert Mario Morejon stated that
the DIR-685 "isn't just your average router."
"D-Link is breaking new grounds with the design of the DIR-685, something
the market is more than ready for (imagine a full-sized digital picture
frame that doubles as router, NAS, and more...)," Morejon writes.
Describing the device as "stylish" and "surprisingly compact," he notes
that, "D-Link provides a highly intuitive and graphical installation
wizard on a CD that configures the router in three basic steps... there
will be no surprises."
"The DIR-685 runs cool and yet it is quite compact for such a complex
device. Feature wise, the DIR-685 won't disappoint the most demanding
users, unless you're expecting full-blown TV," the review states. "D-Link
packed many advanced features that expand the capability of the router
beyond the usual firewalling and port management."
Regarding installing the optional 2.5 inch SATA drive, he notes, "All you
need to do is insert a hard drive on the side slot and the DIR-685 does
the rest. In the Web interface, there are options to format the drive,
create folders and manage connections to the drive."
The D-Link(R) Xtreme N DIR-685 All-In-One Router is available through the
company's vast network of retail and etail outlets, and at D-Link's online
store, www.dlinkshop.com. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is
$299.99.
