hi, have the same set up as you, aol and thompson router.check with aol first to see if they have changed connection name and password,,, they did to me without informing me. mine is *******@dialbb.com. if they have , and sounds possible you need to open network connections on your pc and go to the thompson web page. clik the speedtouch tab then return to factory settings BUT PLEASE WRITE YOUR NAME ,PASSWORD ,WEP KEY, WPA KEY AND ALL RELEVANT INFO DOWN FIRST. on the same page as reset factory settings is set up, click this and follow their instructions ( youll need your wep, wpa name password etc. once done turn on your ps3 and go to the internet settings and do it on easy, it should connect staight awawy. it did for me . hope this helps and dont do it your not sure about setting up your router from scratch i dont wanna help you loose your internet.
