Simon,

IIRC, AOL tie down their routers - some form of MAC filtering and I don't think the 'users' can change it! (My memory might be bad!!)

There was a thread about a similar problem several months ago and iirc they had to speak to AOL to get it working.

When it shows as 'connected', does it have a valid IP address? (Support tab on Wireless Connection Status)
Can the router be pinged? (the address of the router will be the 'default gateway' on the support tab)
