Is the AirPort Extreme configurable with AOL Broadband/DSL? I had a problem setting it up, and cancelled my AOL High-Speed account. I've been given conflicting opinions by tech support---AOL and Apple! Any Insight?

AOL is the problem. My father has spent many hours trying to help a friend get a wireless network to work with AOL. They never got it to work. Just to make sure, he tested the equipment at his house and it worked fine. AOL tech support was unable to help.
Why do you want AOL anyway? It really no longer offers that much that's no widely available on the internet.

Thanks for the response. I've started to look at DSL alternatives to AOL.

Believe it or not there are many Mac heads that have AOL as an Online Service, but also a true ISP ta-boot. Some of the AOL message boards are good and the Moderators get AOL free. A few I know that use AOL with Airport have what is known as Bring Your Own Access [BYOA] and its only $9.95, might be $14.95 now. They are actually signing on AOL with their broadband server IP #s.
