AOL DSL and a Router
Is anyone using AOL DSL service? Do you like it? Also, I would need a router. Does anyone know what makes one better than the other? They go from $60 to hundreds. I only need it to connect 2 computers so they can be online at the same time

I use a D-Link DI-704 gateway to network and share DSL with four computers. Works great and can be found for under $89. Also provides a hardware firewall.
Just found out that it might not work with AOL. Check this D-Link FAQ. Last edited by Reid : 08-04-2002 at 10:43 PM.

Hi Nooyawkah
Sorry, not familiar with AOL dsl service. I have been using a Linksys router for a couple of years now, and it has worked great. It can usually be found somewhere in the $50-$70 price range. However, I have a cable connection and I see in the post above from Reid, that the AOL service may present some problems! Better check into that. DSL Reports is actually a good place to look into available services and answer related questions. Good luck!  (Edit)Oops, sorry Reid , I see your "link" already has a link to dsl reports  Last edited by jabarnutcase : 08-04-2002 at 11:00 PM.
