Wireless broadband with AOL

Wireless broadband with AOL
Right guys, Probably an easy one for those that know how to sort it out, but for a simpleton like me this is proving a pain.
I've bought myself a netgear direless network / adsl setup and i've wired it all in. It's working as far as the pc is picking up the transmitter but i can't get the aol (bt voyager 105) modem to work with it.
Please can anyone help?
Thanks,
Matt.

It won't work with the bt voyager, because the netgear is now your modem. Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?
I've got wireless on AOL and it goes throught the wireless router, not the old voyager.

Hold on you have a bt voyager 105 which doesnt have any wireless capabilities and a Netgear WG111 which plus into your PC and allows wireless commication with a router which has wireless capability?
So they wont talk to each other as the BT voyager isnt broadcasting a wireless network, so the Wg111 cant receive it!
You need a wireless router which connect to the phone socket and then broadcasts a wireless signal which the wg111 picks up and lets you surf.
Get a WGT834 to replace your BT Voyager.

Have you set the DG834 up? connect with the cable supplied, usually a blue cable then in the browser goto 192.168.0.1 and follow the setup leaflet.

you need to set the wireless up but first you need to connect with the cable, set the router up and then the wireless and then you can unplug and use wirelessly.

you need to make sure you set the MTU to 1400 for AOL, default is 1500 if I remember rightly.
Also make sure you set a password on your wireless network otherwise you'll have all your neighbours using your connection.

You also need the 2mb line ( gold package ) to be able to set up wireless with AOL, unless you ask for what i got which is the gold package without the line speed.
e.g im on a 1mb connection ( which is silver ) but running the gold on line.
Hope that makes sence.

With the netgear it doenst matter what package your on. I have customers on all of the AOL packages with wireless working no problems.
Its down to the hardware at the home/office end not the line.

I tried to run a thompson router with aol and it wouldnt happen so then bought a belkin router and still wouldnt happen ( not sure about the netgear ones ) i was then told that aol put some thing one your phone line ( this was by bt broadband ) to stop you going wireless, unless you have a certain package i.e gold or above

Nope, all you need to do is make sure the MTU is set to 1400 this explains why.

setup loads of AOL connections and this works everytime.
