I use a Linksys WRT54GS Wireless-G Broadband Router to allow me to go online wirelessly with my laptop. However, I've found that I cannot use the video chat feature on AOL Instant Messenger if I'm connected through the router (whether via a wireless connection on my laptop or wired through the router to my PC). If I connect directly to my modem, however, I don't have any problems with video chat on AIM.

Any ideas on why this is?

The sticker says: 2.4 GHz, 802.11g, with SpeedBooster. I don't know what that means, but there you have it.

I'm considering buying a new one (because this one is getting somewhat finicky), but I'd like to get one that this won't be an issue with, if possible. Any suggestions?

You need to find out which ports AOL video chat is using
and open them in the router setup.
