Well, it seems the DIR-685 is a dead project for D-Link... who knows we can give a little help to D-Link and show the bugs of the buggiest D-Link product... I'll try to start:
#1 Router is turnned off. I turn it on: no Wi-Fi signal... turn off and turn on again... still no signal... doing this 3, 4, 5 times I can get Wi-Fi signal... (already tested, off course.. it IS the router, not my devices)
#2 Some devices, ex. my cell phone is connected to router via Wi-Fi... if I disconnect cell phone, to reconnect again I need to reboot router
#3 Some times I loose connection with storage HDD in router, although internet still working
#4 Length of CAT5 cables (wired connections): short CAT5 cable, works ok.... cables about 30 meters, not working
Anyone?
PS Sorry about my limited english

Read this for your cables http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabit_Ethernet it should be up to 100 meters. Why it does not work over 30 meters maybe a signal power problem? As for your other problems my phone seems connect ok. I have not got a hard drive in the router as it is noisy and slow. Also my router is on 24/7 and I have no problems with the wi-fi. Thats the best I can do M

fgl30: I only have issue with #3 it is random, but the others are major issues. Only thing I could say is RMA or Update firmware again......clear default settings.
