AOL setup guide for a NETGEAR DG834G?

FunkyT · 31 Aug 2006 at 08:51

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

There use to be an actual guide which didn't use the installer for 95% of it, I know cos I have that router and used it myself

I don't think AOL have it up anymore but if I find it I'll post back here.

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.

Ive lately found though if i log in through AOL's software and d/load a something I get an 6/8MB d/load speed but if I just us IE with the same file I'll get 2MB max ! also noticed you get differant IP address through each one

anyone else found this?

Gas

Tried also with various speedcheckers always get the same result 2MB in IE or 6/8MB in AOL software

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 :eek:

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!
