Yep, wireless to son's computer.
and.. The only thing in the AOL modem is the router, correct.
The laptop is receiving wireless from our router perfectly it seems. The strength is excellent. It's just when you try to connect via internet explorer, it says, cannot connect to the server!
Laptop, although 3 years old, has wi-fi button lit and antennae activated. When you click on the wireless icon on bottom right of screen it says, connected. And it is definitly set to connect to our router. It seems that all is ok til I click on internet explorer to access the internet.
Then, no can do!
Sorry I'm such a dumbo.
