AOL help

My mate had a Wireless router from AOL and he wants to set it up so that he can use wireless on his Laptop and on his 2nd pc which is downstairs. He has got the Wireless 'dongles' for the other PC's. How easy is it to set up? Any advice would be great. Bit of a noob at this. Step by step would be great. Thanks.

Its a Netgear. Don't know the model number as i am not where it is at the mo. Just need basic advice in setting up an ADSL broadband and then setting up the wireless side on 2 pc's.

Well, can't connect my mates laptop or other pc to net. He has a netgear router that AOL sent him. Works fine on his pc. He has 'Mercury' USB wireless adapters for the other pc's butcan't connect. Help!!

As i said, the netgear installed fine. Installed the USB wireless adapters on the laptop and the other pc and installed AOL software but it does not connect. Plus the wireless adapter on one pc says 'excellent speed' but it won't connetc. The other adapter has a red cross next to it on the taskbar.

Any advice would be great. Ta
