netgear dg834g router with AOL broadband?

[ernie]

Hi

recently installed a new speedtouch wireless router when we upgraded aol account because netgear dg834g router stopped working. didn't take long for me to realise what a complete pile of s**t this router is. ethernet works fine, but wireless is awful.
whenever i use my pc (wireless netgear wg311) upstairs i'm always having to 'repair connection' because it cannot find an ip address, although once connected it works ok. since yesterday cannot find ip address at all, even though it has a good signal.

want to go back to using netgear router cos never had any problems with it, but had no luck setting it up myself so need help

does anyone have a guide to setting up this router with aol please

thanks

Mark

I dont know if this helps but...

my current setup is
Encapsulation = PPPoE
VPI = 0
VCI = 38
MTU = 1450
User = phonenumber@dialbb.com
Password = 1234

my old setup (pre everything going down the pan!)
Encapsulation = PPPoE
VPI = 0
VCI = 38
MTU = 1400
User = myemail@aol.com
Password = normal password

On my nightmare AOL job today one support bloke said that you need 01473******@dialbb.com and another 'support' call centre drone said you need 01473******A@dialbb.com so which is it? hmm try both

The MTU size is set in the WAN Setup page of the Netgear config
