Anyone got one? My inlaws are on AOL Silver Broadband (wired ADSL) and want to set up a wireless network.


AOL do Platinum broadband at a fiver extra per month, for which you get a "free" wireless router - as far as I can see the only think you get for the extra cash is the router, which you could just buy yourself anyway, thus not paying the extra monthly charge for ever more? Has anyone done this? I find their 'help' less than 'helpful'.


Please don't say "leave AOL" as I've tried this tack already, unfortunately their business is tied into it for various reasons, so we have to find a wireless AOL solution.

Your right, all you need is a wireless router with a built in ADSL modem so basically you can do

Phone->Modem/Router->Wireless Clients

Something like this should work ok
