I'm guessing some configuration is involved like setting a name,
usernames, and passwords.  Which of either type of hardware is friendly
to Linux.  Actually provides configuration software that runs on Linux
or another easy means of configuring the WiFi?
 

All of them will have a web interface as primary means of configuration and many will have telnet or ssh access
So none are inimitable to Linux

In regards to a WiFi enable cable modem I was thinking of buying a
highly rated model, but from a few years ago to save a few pennies.
 Any information or tips will be appreciated.

Well I am running a superb router, which also has telephone ports for VOIP. Its a Draytek
Vigor2762Vac. It is DSL OR fibre/cable capable.
I also have an older Cisco SOHO style router Exellent piece of kit
Don't buy old Netgear crap
