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?

In regards to a WiFi enable cable modem I was thinking of buying a

Any information or tips will be appreciated.
I just bought some routers so I think I have a little clue.
I owned a FIOS router. It was no good with my new ISP (Comcast).
Comcast wants you to lease their router, I wanted none of that.
It took me a couple of tries to find a router compatible with Comcast
the local PC Richards was no good, I had to order the router online.
I ended up with Netgear equipment. Netgear has an app you can download
to your phone. I just accessed the router from my Linux PC using a
browser. Every router I've had so far has a browser interface.
