At first glance, one can easily make out that D-link has taken care to make this product look different from any of the other routers that are available in their current line-up. The body of the DIR-635 is well designed, coming in a sturdy black plastic body. The DIR-635 is also surprisingly compact, as compared to previous generation routers. The same theme has been used on the other 2 products. The DWA-645 (laptop adapter) and the DWA-547 (desktop adapter) sport the same finish in their respective bodies and in case of the of the DWA-645 there are 2 LED present to indicate connection status and activity.
The DIR-635 being a Draft-N range product, has been equipped with three antennas as compared to the standard one we normally see on 802.11g products. All the 3 antennas are replaceable. This is a good feature, as a power-user can easily pickup 3rd party antennas for boosting the range of this product should the provided antennas not be sufficient. Since the DIR-635 is an Internet gateway and not designed to function as a modem, there are no cable modem/ADSL2+ ready points that have been provided along with this router. Instead this router is designed to be hooked up, with your current router or modem and is capable of ADSL2+ PPPOE authentication (via bridge mode) or can be hooked up with a DOCSIS modem to serve directly as a gateway. The DIR-635 also sports 4 network points and can also be used a network switch.
