Maybe you don't know what you want?
If you just want to open the browser and start surfing, without having to click on any sort of connection, then you need a router.

Did you enter your AOL- username / password in the Router? Did you configure it at all or do you use it as a modem?
The more infos you give, the better one can help you...

First: read the fine manual that came with the router, everything should be explained there.
Basicly, you will have to enter the router's configuration menu by entering it's IP in your Browser. Then you will have to choose something like PPPoE Access to the Internet and enter your AOL-username and password. Then you go to Start->Internet Options->Connections and advice it to not choose any connection automaticaly.
Now when you open your browser the next time, your router should connect automaticaly.
