AOL BB Connection Problems

Gents

I have just migrated across to AOL,
and this morning have noticed that i have not got a BB connection, I have contacted AOL and they have said that my connection is now with them even though i have received no paperwork or my wireless router,
I have a dlink wireless router although not supported by AOL should work

Please could someone post the Router setup so i can try and configure mine.
eg encapsulation type pppoA or E mtu settings etc,

Also is the username my screenname + @aol.com or is this not required

Many thanks in advance

This should help get you going but don't use WEP encryption use WPA-PSK instead.

Thanks fro the info guys it turns out it, when I setup my password on the web i used Capitals but for some reason you cant use them on the router to it was the same password but all in lower case

Don't foget that AOL has a non-standard MTU size, I think its 1200 - although you may want to check online (google) or ring them and ask *.


* Although ask for a techie, since many of the AOL help support people don't even know what contention ratio means....

1400 should be ok.

all sorted and working fine MTU is set at 1400
