Re: AOL & Routers
A majority of ADSL router will work, he needs the have a spare screenname though. When setting up the router enter the username for the ISP as <screenname>@aol.com (with any capital letters), VCP should be set to 0 and VCI should be set to 38. The MTU should be set to 1400. AOL say routers won't work on their silver service but it will if you don't use the AOL software on your machine. DLink, Belkin, Linksys, BT and other routers not 'supported' by AOL have all be setup fine on their service. If you want to make absolutely certain the get the Netgear DG834G as AOL support this.
