Sounds like a duff router. Get back to AOL and get them to get you a new one or you wont pay up! 
What security have you setup on the router? Maybe someone from outside is playing with your config etc....
Did this router come with you AOL, or is it something you decided to install your self?
AOL is very fussy regarding routers....
Well AOL is fussy full stop.....!!!

I certainly am.
If you speak with AOL high end Tech support, then they will, if you ask nicely, tell you that the AOL Broadband service is only guranteed to work on several routers known to them, of which they offer support on. But there are others that will work with it ok, and then again ther eare others then cause problems.
Aol is known to cause problems with networking, it the way its configured. Im fully aware most Routers can be configured to work with most service providers, but will be unsupported not just by the service provider, but also by IT service proffesionals too, as most are aware it just is not worth the hassle.... Things may seem good and to work, but if, and when a problem arises most will walk away, esp if its on an AOL network.
Also, The AOL network is the most hit network for code and trojan attacks, Email account access isnt that hard to get into either, for the ones who want to.....
I know there are millions of happy AOL customers out there, and good luk to them, but looking at it from a professional point of view, i would NEVER advice a client to use the AOL network for Broadband Services.
