Almost all of the devices work with Linux that isn't the problem. (Most of
them even work without any configuration.)

Tata Indicom actually has an official "Linux and Mac Support Team"

Whereas Reliance outright refuses to help you when you there is a problem.
They won't escalate your support calls or lodge a complaint even when there
is a network problem of their own doing. (Getting them to help you when you
have an OS related issue is obviously too much to ask.)

I have an ~3k Reliance device lying around totally useless.(As someone said
it's too light to even be a paperweight.)

Avoid Reliance.
