Accessing Hidden Advanced Settings on a Linksys EA9200 Router

I'm having a few regrets about supplying this router to a client.  It seems to have some spotty connection issues, so I've swapped it for an Asus and brought it home to test on my own home network.

It was very disheartening to realize that it doesn't support any third party firmware (no DD-WRT, OpenWRT or Tomato?!)

In the meantime, I wanted to play with some of the more advanced settings on it to suit my own situation - and low and behold, they've not provided access to those settings for owners by any documented manner.

Fortunately, I did find a reference to similar models having a "hidden" advanced settings screen that does indeed work on this model too.

When you hit up the home screen of the web interface, simply substitute "advanced-wireless" for "home" in the address bar, and you'll be all set.

Enjoy!  If I discover anything earth shattering, I'll try to report back.
