Hi.
I haven't really found a netgear router that I liked overly much, they
appear to be pretty unstable for me. That having been said they do offer
pretty friendly interfaces. Can you try getting a new non smart cisco
(linksys) router to test for web interface accessibility and then return
it if not adequate?
I think your router must be an EA6500 not an A6500 which I can't find
any references to. EA4500 which is my router offers the old firmware
version so you can downgrade. I did this and mine is very friendly and
usable. It also is an insanely stable router with decent range. It does
not support WiFi AC though.
I searched for such a downgrade for EA6500, and only got results for the
same for EA4500. I think I'll have to conclude that downgrading to an
old cisco firmware is not an option for the EA6500.
A possible solution may be to use DBWRT, an open source firmware that
may offer a version for the EA6500. However, I know nothing about DBWRT
so I won't actually be able to make claims on just how well that'll turn
out.
If you just got this router and you can return it, I suggest that you do so.
To the best of my knowledge, the best routers on the planet right now
are the Asus RT68u which apparently is accessible to configure since
I've heard of people who are blind using them, and the Apple Airport
Extreme. Last time I looked, Walmart had the Asus RT68u, that, or what
ever it's latest brother is by then, will probably be the router of
choice for me once I outgrow my amazing cisco EA4500.

A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from
a simpler system that worked perfectly.

Have you looked at Netgear? I have the nighthawk r7000. The web interface is
accessible, but the apps they want you to install are not.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you don't need parental controls,
you don't need the Netgear Jenie app.

Hi all,
I have a Linksys a6500 at home, it is an smart wifi router,and I am
getting some problems with the web interface of this router. I need a
good routher that allows to connect at least 15 wifi devices multi
tasking, , dual band, and with an UI accessible. It is the most
important thing for me, I am not able to modify the settings in my routehr
due to the accessibility problems.
Any advice?
Thanks for all,
