Notes:

  • various emulators here: http://skyangel.wikidot.com/emulators
  • Netgear seems to host emulators on their own site, but I can't find a central index: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:tools.netgear.com+simulators

Heres another one:

It's not quite the answer you're looking for but it's what I've done in your situation before:

  1. Set up a server which allows you to ssh in and set up a port forward.

  2. Port forward from your server's localhost to the user's router.

  3. ssh into your server and connect to the above forwarded port to access the routers web admin page.

This sounds like a lot of effort but it works really well and you can set up a simple package with Putty to do all the above easily.

Let me know if you want more details.


At least for Linksys products, if you're worried about being legit, you can use:
