AOL setup guide for a NETGEAR DG834G?

Does such a thing exist? Maybe something in the public domain rather than having to navigate the AOL help system :cool:

Thanks dude :cool:

Thanks man.

I've never used any of these ISP setup programs due to the crap they seem to install. Self config 4tw tbh!

Yeah have to agree, got the BT Voyager 105 modem here for AOL, and never bothered with all that software rubbish, AOL 9 etc... i just made my own connection.

A router for the win, tbh.

Yup, but i can't be bothered to get one.

Gay, tbh

AOL setup with a router is a piece of cake - especially with a DG834G.

I noticed that my friend was on 1Mbps and being charged £24.99 for the 'Gold' 2Mbps package :rolleyes:

When I spoke to 'tech support' the curry muncher referred to the connection speed Megabyte :mad:

Can't he downgrade to the 1 Mb Silver package although that would mean another 12 month contract wouldn't it?

Yes dude. It's taken me 5 years to get him to ditch that awful software and I'm now in process of helping him select a decent ISP like Nildram...

It's bizarre when you see a long time AOL user stuck with IE and Outlook Express... they're completely confused

Erm... that was me a few months ago

Not so much confused with IE but it took a bit of working things out to get my Zen e-mail account set-up for Outlook Express

Config. was pretty straightforward - just need a few extra settings when using IMAP rather than POP3.

His problem was not having his hand held by the dire AOL spyware!

Geezer won't look back. In confident of that, tbh
