Many tests show that D-Link DIR-685 got a lot of criticism on several points. Assigned to this I bought this product to see if the problems described still remain and can anything be done in such cases to solve this.Svante Gustafssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08187671536537674585noreply@blogger.comBlogger3125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502289397581057636.post-68245380869415661882010-08-24T15:28:00.000-07:002010-08-25T00:00:08.620-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY_r6_1V44XfBZ_pXSP1mlK332qeSBDSJ24_XmUm_D849JpP50rKwJh4jRk8r18wFO-q9-iEt4PPivpQWhbbU2Q5Tjh7AKVPKpKbyIX42sHOLpJxIXviF7_imRLx7NBXvUfeVWK0SgYxs/s1600/d-link.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="123" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY_r6_1V44XfBZ_pXSP1mlK332qeSBDSJ24_XmUm_D849JpP50rKwJh4jRk8r18wFO-q9-iEt4PPivpQWhbbU2Q5Tjh7AKVPKpKbyIX42sHOLpJxIXviF7_imRLx7NBXvUfeVWK0SgYxs/s200/d-link.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>Here you have the newest Firmware update <a href="ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/dir_products/dir-685/dir685_v2.00B01.rar">Dir-685 Firmwre v2.00B01</a>Svante Gustafssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08187671536537674585noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502289397581057636.post-77059885493083768792010-08-24T07:53:00.000-07:002010-08-24T23:53:53.654-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0CrzqY6-q6d8iy1zApMNYCyDliXRzxc36XTZcTVrFEepmXj-zim9lFio6p9YxP8vACFJMSK88TU2om8Kh4VK0l1cm8MzqbpXzh34EqBiI0WktQfj_w9qwuTilk9mdjuEKcHBHTEfP0yA/s1600/dlink.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="158" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0CrzqY6-q6d8iy1zApMNYCyDliXRzxc36XTZcTVrFEepmXj-zim9lFio6p9YxP8vACFJMSK88TU2om8Kh4VK0l1cm8MzqbpXzh34EqBiI0WktQfj_w9qwuTilk9mdjuEKcHBHTEfP0yA/s200/dlink.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /> <br /> I had great trouble getting the wireless network to function as I wanted in the beginning. As soon as I turned on the encryption on my DIR-685 (tried all different) all of my "802.11n" devices refuse to start connect to N speed, the N devices switched only up to G speed 54Mps.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/30864-smashed-mash-up-d-link-dir-685-reviewed?showall=&amp;start=5">Smallnetbuilder.com</a> writes the following: "Figure 19 shows that the 685 properly (as per draft 802.11n standard requirements) limits performance to 11g speeds with WEP and WPA/TKIP enabled. And selecting WPA2/AES security has no significant effect on throughput."<br /> <br /> After me testing changes to the choice between TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) changes from default "TKIP" to "AES" solved the problem I had, after that my N devices linked up right and the encryption is turned on.
