You can configure those routres both in Linux and in windblows. The router does have a web-based configuration which you can access by going to http://192.168.1.1. The default username is admin and the same goes for the password. There are some config pages that use some scripting, but on the whole you should be fine configuring it from Linux. As to which machine to use, it really doesn't matter. Hope this helps.
