yes you will need to change the connection settings to aol. the only bit you need to change is the connection username/password.

depending on where the router came from, it might need a firmware flash to unlock it. what model is it?

well i got my 2500v firmware from here -

http://www.voyager.bt.com/firmware_upgrades/btvoyager-one-click-fw-update

you need to copy/paste the links into a new browser window. and yes you'll see multiple versions - i don't really know the difference between. i just picked and got lucky.

you'll need the router admin/password. browse to http://192.168.1.1 to access the config - it's under advanced>system>upgrade and then browse to the file you downloaded.

DISCLAIMER: don't blame me if you brick it.

i've been using my unlocked BT router on entanet for months now and it does the job well.
