Unless otherwise noted this list of router emulators are from the manufacturer’s web sites and will provide a virtual web GUI of the router’s management through a web browser. Note that most mesh systems will only work through a phone app which can not be emulated easily. For more information on router manufacturer default IP addresses, DHCP Connection Type Descriptions, or Phone App go to the Setting Up a 3rd Party Router portion of the Router Setup KB Article.
