Hello, First time poster here...

First off, I have TimeWarner Cable (road runner) service and a Netgear WGR614 v5.

Here's the problem. I have recently moved, didn't change any settings whatso ever, and when I hooked everything up, everything is fine except I cannot log on to any aol-related services or websites. Such as aim, or aol.com, aim.com, or even timewarner.com to pay my bill! Initially I thought it was an isp problem but when I connect directly with modem to pc, I can access aol-related sites and servicse no problem!

So i thought it has to be my router. I went ahead and did a hard reset and restored to factory defaults. Tried that, no good, updated router firmware to 1.7, no luck, then to 1.9(latest) still no luck. My laptop connecting wirelessly faces the same problem... now I'm at a loss at what I should do... any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hmm crap I think I posted in the wrong forum.. if a mod would kindly move this thread to the approriate forum that'd be great! Thanks!
