I had a working connection to AOL from my laptop,using a netgear wireless adapter. Sumhow it has been messed with (prob kids) but I now can't seem to get a connection back, even when I hook up the home PC ,it just won't allow me to get online,n I've exhausted my options. When I rang the helpline they told me that the connection was working fine so, plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, help anyone

Try rebooting your Wireless router. Also try renewing you IP address.
