Any cable/adsl ethernet router will work with any linux distribution. Compatibility is not an issue.
So the decision to buy may be just a question of price?
Not exactly. As cheaply made as modern electronics now are, warranty is no small consideration. Some routers have 1 year warranties, while others have 3 or 5, with little or no price difference from the 1 year junk. Some router setup software behaves badly or not at all unless you use Internet Exploder, thought AFAIK they all have a telnet setup option that doesn't care what OS you use. Support can also matter. Check their web site. Does it work OK in your favorite browser? Will their firmware upgrades install without first unpacking in a windoze environment? I've only ever bought 2 routers. The first was Netgear, and the 2nd was Netgear. They both still work. I usually do their setup with Mozilla, but telnet works too.
