Just used a router.
At first I used a Thompson SpeedTouch 510v4, but now I'm using a Netgear
wireless ADSL router.
The way of doing it was to dump the awful AOL software and get the
router to login to AOL directly using the username: screenname@xxxxxxx
Thats the thing that wasn't very well documented. You couldn't just
enter your screen name in the username box, you needed the @aol.com at
the end. AOL tech support were actually fairly helpful in giving out
that information.
