I find Eclipse technical support excellent. Have phoned them and emailed
them several times and they always sort me out without any hassle.
Their residential packages can provide a router, although I already had
one so dont know what it is.
Definitely works with linux as all my computers are linux only but after
all its a router so O.S. agnostic.
