How to set up your network to operate with AOL
for Broadband and your Router
There are two types of AOL connections available—either AOL DSL
or AOL Cable. A third service is called AOL BYOA (Bring Your Own
Access). This is used along with an existing broadband connection,
supplied by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you have AOL
DSL, please refer to "Directions for AOL DSL Users" below for setup
instructions. If you have either AOL Cable or the AOL BYOA service,
please go to the "Directions for AOL Cable or AOL BYOA Users"
section of this guide, on page 90.

you just created.
