Hmm, the router brand should not really matter. Most ports (except for 80 and 23) are usually closed by default on routers. By the way, Linksys routers tend to overheat from time to time, so if you ever run into that problem, put it in a cool place (e.g. close to a window during the winter), or let a fan help it cool down.
