Help Please - ADSL AOL connection via Belkin router
Friend has purchased Belkin router. He is on ADSL and I've been round to help him set it up without luck.
Settings i'm using.
username: - all lower case with domain suffix e.g. username@aol.com
encapsulation - VUMUX
MTU - 1400
Connection type - PPPoE (tried A as well though AOL live chat fella said to use E)
the router has a telephone symbol which flashes then stays lit but there is also a world symbol that does not come on (assume this is connected). The admin page shows NOT CONNECTED also.
Any ideas?
edited to say that the username I'm using is a screen name that does not have @aol.com on it - if that makes a difference?

Ripped from http://www-stg.aolsvc.co.uk/help/Speed545.htm
have you got the vpi = 0 vci =38
should be PPPoA
you need the username@aol.com (screen name needs 18+ access)
password needs to be in lower case
This might be relevant too

vpi/vci is as you stated. Will check the screen name. I asssume you can connect to the router without using aol software. At this stage I'm just trying to get the router config to report a connection and havent tried ie.

yes it needs the @aol.com
login to router & enter
username@aol.com
password
PPPoE
iirc the rest left as default.
if not all the lights are green check cat5 cable/power off router
Check the status in admin page - connect/disconnect then try rebooting the router
dont need aol software (you do if you want to use keywords) just use normal IE.
