OL DSL Plus?

In most cases yes. AOL DSL+ may use PPPoE for authentication bypassing the client

software. If this is the case, then our routers will work with this service. Please contact

AOL if you are not sure.

To set up your router:

Step 1:

Log into the web-based configuration (192.168.0.1) and configure the WAN

side to use PPPoE.

Step 2:

Enter your screen name followed by @aol.com for the user name. Enter your

AOL password in the password box.

Step 3:

You will have to set the MTU to 1400. AOL DSL does not allow for anything

higher than 1400.

Step 4:

Apply settings.

Step 5:

Recycle the power to the modem for 1 minute and then recycle power to the

router. Allow 1 to 2 minutes to connect.

If you connect to the Internet with a different internet service provider and want to use

the AOL software, you can do that without configuring the router’s firewall settings. You

need to configure the AOL software to connect using TCP/IP.

Go to http://www.aol.com for more specific configuration information of their software.
