Do Network Routers Support Linux? - Discuss

"My router I'm using now isn't supported anymore... . I have my main computer with WinXP and a second, older computer running Linux (Ubuntu 6.06). I also have Vonage VOIP Linksys phone adapter (PAP2) hooked into the router, a D-Link DI-604 (wired). It seems to work except there are problems off and on with the 'Net being slow.... . I have to do a reset every once-in-a-while: Unplug modem, router, IP adapter, and wait a bit before plugging them in waiting of course until each gets the signal.

"I feel it's time to get a new router and I'm considering wireless but I'm not sure what to get. I see in the specs of most of the routers that they only support Microsoft operating system. Does it matter since the #1 computer does run XP?"
