What is going to happen with the DIR-685 router FrameChannel apps as that service is going to be EOL?

I expect the app will be useless.  D-link seems not fixing the issues this router has already let alone putting any effort to support a third party feature/sevice like FC.

I have sent emails regarding the removal of the framechannel and the slowness of the NAS server, as these where the selling point of the router for me. but now they have removed framechannel. but not gave any word on what they are going to do. Frameit has been discontinued my microsoft but its still showing on there firmware. They really have broken promises on there dir-685. I have not recieved a single reply to my emails. as i have noticed through out the forums that they dont reply to emails very often. I wish i could find someone within dlink to answer these questions. I am quite sure that dlink could setup a firmware station where you pick and choose what you want in your firmware. dd-wrt doesn't have any custom firmware. I wish someone would pick up this firmware and custom build it.
