Belkin's WRT54G Router Successor Is Crap On The Software Front So Far

How would you configure the base station if you don't have a Mac or an iPhone/iPad? I could buy one of Airport Extreme if it can be configured in Linux but then I don't think there's a web interface, right? There's no utility for Linux except for Windows, Mac, and iPhone/iPad devices.

Indeed. No web interface and you must use the Apple utility to configure the router. Apple has had it like that with older Airport products as well.

Also rather insecure. At my uni they had airports serving wifi, and a mac-using friend saw he could have completely owned them with that Apple utility (IIRC by uploading a new firmware which would reset it).

Perhaps it could be secured and they just didn't, didn't look more into it.
