Yes, it has already been configured for a while.

Yes, the router may support it, but the net installer doesn't contain any 
graphic browser to login to the router. One solution could be to use a LiveCD 
but in this case the owner who has never used any Linux environment needs to 
do a lot of configuration (to enable vnc in yast and config krfb) which could 
be very complicated for him.
The net install would be more simple because in this case one needs to create 
only two grub options to enable remote installation via ssh and then to find 
out and forward public IP of the router to me.
Thanks,

Paul
