Linksys Router Demo pages

A little bit off topic of practical school tech, but seeing that if you're here you can probably appreciate the technical nature of this post.

Ever try walking a friend through a router setup remotely?  Usually if you're doing this they don't have working internet so screen sharing is out.  Find yourself saying often, "Do you see something that says status?"  Or my favorite, "What does it say on the screen now?"  Usually while I'm saying these things I've got Google image search pulled up looking for a "linksys e6900 configuration screen" (or whatever model they have) and hoping that someone has uploaded a picture of it.  A picture is worth a thousand words, right?  Even a simple shot of the E6900 configuration page like this one can save an hour of trying to describe over the phone what button they are looking for.


If that pictures worth a thousand words, how much would an accessible interface be worth?

I think I'm a little late to the party but I found an awesome site the other day that is even better than a picture. Full, interactive copies of the user interface of multiple models including multiple firmware versions.

It's by Linksys so it's only their routers.  Take what you can get right?  It's even fairly up to date.  I couldn't find one of their latest models, but did see files from October or November of 2013.
