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 XX [confirm page no.].
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.
AOL DSL Users STEP 1: Creating new AOL screen names
Note: Your AOL connections must be set to operate on the TCP/IP standard. If you have
designated another protocol, reset them to TCP/IP before proceeding.
1. If your Router is currently connected to the network, remove it from the network and connect
it directly to your broadband modem. Then, log on to AOL as you normally do.
2. Log on to your AOL master account.
3. Perform a keyword search on “names” by clicking “Keyword”, and then “Go to Keyword”.
4. In the “Keyword” window, type in “names” then click “Go”.
