I have a new Linksys router.  When I load the accompanying CD it informs me that it supports OS 10.5.8 or later, OS 10.6.1 or later, and OS 10.7 or later.  I am running 10.9.2, which apparently isn't supported by this Router.  Any suggestions?

No they should be agnostic about what is behind them, but as to support for IP6, or whether any computers or tablets can use AC... and hasn't Apple's own units sometimes stop being supported with new Mac and new versions of OS X? seems so.
I said above, why would anyone install any kind of software to use a router? although Netgear's GEnie is or was installed on my systems that adds a nice way to log in and manage the router, so I have to take that back a notch.
Support for modems and ISPs is a concern, my modem is not certified fully with DOCSIS 3.0 or  FIOS.
Look around and you can find routers having trouble with some network services like Airplay, printing and scanning, the software bundled with router.
However, ethernet chips, and the driver, can be a factor. Problems with Intel networking chip and high bandwidth streaming and not being able to handle the load when used by wifi euipment like notebooks and other devices.
I have only seen the LARGE number of complaints on MacBook forums about wifi issues to suspect something is wrong but not sure what. And those are people that depend on wifi I assume, though some could use their Thunderbolt equipped Mac to use ethernet to get around the problems. And I am seeing the same thing with some Windows users and maybe they all have common Intel chips???

I use Windows 8.1 primarily. I also don't know enough or as much to know "Why is the sky blue" either.
Just pass along this example:
If you're setting up a new PC for the first time, check if your router is fully compatible with Windows. Because of the new networking features in Windows (8.1), some older network routers aren't fully compatible and can cause problems. For a list of routers that are compatible with Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1, go to the Windows Compatibility Center.
Anyone remember when 10.4.0 had so many issues with LAN that it could not be used, work on fix was going on and wasn't complete until 10.4.2/4.3 (and first time we got a new full 10.4.3 DVD because customers needed a reliable system.
