if I want my P4 PC to make as Wireless Router, do I have to load anything on top of RH9.x?

I have this P4 machine which had two NIC cards and I would like to make
this as Router, if I load RH 9.x, will that be sufficient to work as
Router?.

Thanks.

Yes ... but don't. RH9 is ancient. If you want Red Hat, use the latest
Fedora or RHEL (or one of its trademark stripped and freely distributable
versions) instead.

Personally I'd look at a dedicated router distro for this sort of task (that
or buy some dedicated hardware - a P4 seems like overkill for such a simple
task!)
