I have a Netgear N300 wireless/wired router that is happy with Windows, 
Linux and OS X.  While it has a fancy installer app that is annoying and 
useless, it allows you to talk to the thing directly via a webpage-like 
thing.  You just plug the thing into an ethernet port and type into a 
browser
http://www.routerlogin.net
and it runs the installation wizard from your browser.  Then you can set 
up the wireless part.
