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—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 or AOL BYOA Users” section of this

User Manual, on page 70.

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.

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.
