router problem linux


I had this router i reset to default settings.And i forgot i used windows to set up the router settings. My question is why router setup only works using windows web browsers. Is there a router i can set up with linux?I have no windows running at the moment.

I haven't seen a router yet that uses a web interface that can't be used in pretty much any browser.

That said, I suppose if they were stupid enough to program the interface is ASP then you'd need IE.

There are some older browsers that use a dedicated client for configuration that often only runs on Windows. Those are generally hardware to eb avoided.

If it insists on IE, try changing the UserAgent setting in FireFox and see if that works.
