5.2.5.3 Accessing AOL
To access AOL (America On Line) through the Wireless Router, the AOL for Windows

connection. The configuration process is as follows:
a. Start the AOL for Windows communication software. Ensure that it is Version 2.5, 3.0
or later. This procedure will not work with earlier versions.
b. Click the Setup button.
c. Select Create Location, and change the location name from "New Locality" to "Wireless
Router".
d. Click Edit Location. Select TCP/IP for the Network field. (Leave the Phone Number
blank.)
e. Click Save, then OK.
f. Configuration is now complete.
g. Before clicking "Sign On", always ensure that you are using the “Wireless Router”
location.

a. Open the TCP/IP Control Panel.
b. Select Ethernet from the Connect via pop-up menu.
c. Select Using DHCP Server from the Configure pop-up menu. The DHCP Client ID field can be left
blank.

• Ensure your DNS settings are correct.
