AOL proved to be a complete cunt to set up regarding wireless for me - I ended up just getting my neighbour to sort it, as he's a network engineer (or something equally techy )

access your router settings by typing 192.168.0.1 into your address bar, and click on wireless setting and enable wireless

You will never get this working I spent hours at a customers trying to get Aol to connect via a belkin router and was unsuccessful. As shit as it is, the only easy way to do it is get a netgear one.

As a workaround, try using the same wep key on both machines
