D-Link Xtreme N Storage Router DIR-685

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.

Reviews

  • Apple Time Capsule (2009)

    Apple Time Capsule is a convenient and simple wireless router and NAS server combo for your home. Unfortunately, especially in the case of the 1TB version, you can find better deals on devices that offer greater storage space and many more features for the price.

  • Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition

    While Core i7 presents a new performance paradigm, the heinously gluttonous Australian prices will need to come down before it's accepted by the mainstream.

  • Apple iPod Nano (4th generation)

    Apple has set the Nano back on track with the thinnest, lightest design yet, and has features that are hard to ignore.

  • Apple iPod Touch (2nd generation)

    If you've been holding back, now is the time: the second-gen Touch is an excellent media player, and the addition of third-party apps extends the fun for everyone, no matter where your interests lie.

  • Alienware Area-51 m9750

    Alienware's flagship gaming laptop, the Area-51 m9750, has plenty of appeal for high-end gamers, but the alien head aesthetic seems dated, and newer components are right around the corner.

  • Toshiba Portege R500

    Toshiba's much-anticipated Portege R500 may be the best ultraportable laptop available right now, but mobile broadband is conspicuously absent.

  • Apple iPod (updated fifth generation, 80GB)

    The new "enhanced" iPod looks like a tremendous improvement over the last one, with a brighter screen and better battery life.

  • Apple iTunes 4.9

    Apple iTunes remains the easiest way to rip, organise and play digital music but still lacks an Australian music store. New in version 4.9 are built-in podcast features.
