Using your Router with AOL Broadband

How to set up your network to operate with AOL® for Broadband and your new Belkin Router

There are two types of AOL connections available—either AOL DSL or AOL Cable. A third service is called AOL BYOA (Bring Your Own Access). This is used along with an existing broadband connection, supplied by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you have AOL DSL, please refer to “Directions for AOL DSL Users” below for setup instructions. If you have either AOL Cable or the AOL BYOA service, please go to the “Directions for AOL Cable Users” section of this guide, on page 104.

Directions for AOL DSL Users

STEP 1: Create AOL screen names for the Router and for each computer that will be using your AOL service.

STEP 2: Configure the Router for AOL for Broadband.

STEP 3: Configure your computers with the new AOL screen names you just created.
