If by "free software friendly", you mean "works with computers that run libre GNU/Linux systems", you don't need to worry about that.

One thing I think is worth noting, though, is that routers typically need to be configured by a Web-based interface, and JavaScript code is often required. If, as is the case for Think Penguin's router, you have the ability to control the software on the router, I don't think this JavaScript code is a problem; it's automatically being installed on your browser, but only after you have installed it on the router; you still clearly have the ability to control it. But if that code is proprietary, or if you're unable to choose what software to run on the router, that's a problem.
