I've got AOL Gold 1 MB @£24.99 - could probably manage with Silver @ 512kb but they say they don't support wireless networking - is this true - (I have my own Netgear DG834G v2 router) - can you get round it?

Cheers

If I was you I'd move away from AOL, it's ghastly, and I'm being overly polite here. I would *never* install AOL on any machine I come into contact with.

I'm trying to work out why the ISP is saying they don't support wireless, surely that is more of a hardware issue than a software/ISP issue?

 

AOL will be fine with your router and it means you uninstall aol's nightmare software and browser as your seettings will be stored in the router.


I have AOL platinum, no throttling and completely unlimited. Although it is a few quid dearer than some, which I can live with.

You will also need to alter the MTU settings for your router to support aol.

Hope that helps.

 

Sorry - wasn't very clear... AOL Gold works fine with my router & wireless network - (fully supported by AOL ).
With the Silver package they say they don't support wireless networking - but it is £7 a month cheaper and 1/2 the speed of the gold package - I could live with that but would like to keep the wireless facility.
Is it just a case of they 'won't support you' with any networking problems with the Silver package or do they somehow disable a second connection through the same phone line?

Cheers
