Make sure you have the latest firmware for the router. Might just not be compatible with each other. Is there a different router that Orange recommends?

Connecting itouch to Orange Livebox

Hi guys,
wondered if anyone else has experienced problems connecting your itouch to an Orange Livebox ? Tried contacting Orange, but useless support so wondered if anyone had expeirenced problems themselves ? My itouch locates the Livebox with no trouble, but when i input the password, (the secrutiy number in this case) the process fails.....
Any help gratefully recevied!!
Thanks in advance.

Hello, you need to pair the devices first, so you need to hold and press down the number 1 key on the back of the livebox for 10 seconds, you then have 10 mins to enter the WEP or WAP code into your ipod touch. Also ensure that you are entering all the letters in capitals as each time you press a letter on the ipod touch it reverts back to lower case so you have to everytime press the upwards arrow key to put it into capitals. Also remember that ther are no letter o's in the WEP or WAP, it is all 0's.
Hope this helps you.

Connecting to an Orange Livebox router

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how I do this?
My iPod Touch recognises the router but will not connect when I enter the password.
I have linked it up to about 10 other wireless routers so that isn't the problem.
Thanks

Suddenly unable to connect to Orange Livebox after over a year of use

I have been able to successfully connect to my Orange Livebox since getting my Ipod touch over a year ago but suddenly can't any longer. My livebox shows the Ipod as paired & Wifi enabled & my Ipod can see my Livebox but just wont connect. It says unable to join Livebox. It asks for the password which I enter (I never had to do that before it started playing up) but it still wont let me in.
I've treid to reset back to factory settings & reset network. It won't let me "forget this network" & try to pair again.
Any ideas most welcome please as I'm getting very frustrated.
Thank you.

"E_ADEPT_IO ActivationServiceInfo...", means that ADE could not contact the Adobe activation server (adeactivate.adobe.com). If you network is setup correctly and you can get to the server in the browser, then the next most likely problem is a firewall (McAffee, LittleSnitch, etc...) prevent ADE from getting outside network access.

How to Parameter WRT54GS to connect to Internet through Livebox-2 ?

I intend to connect a network built around the WRT54GS to Internet by passing through a second network who is already connected to Internet through the Orange Livebox-2 (French).
I have a traditional home network with basic shares on the French Orange Livebox-2 and its WiFi.
The computers runs XP - Pro .
My ADSL access is normally through the Livebox-2
(Range of addresses 192.168.1.xxx) and I run DHCP
Working Group "WORKGROUP".
It works without problem (Internet and VoIP telephony) except the Wifi of the Livebox which is known as poor (range and stability).
I also manages a small "pedagogical workshop" for the school who visit my mill.
This network is available to my young visitors based on a (tower) server containing the libraries and teaching materials and its printer. It’s XP - Pro machine. and to allow a maximum of two laptops be WiFi connected.
The second network is built around the Linksys router (wich integrates no modem, simply a router).
The WRT54GS router (rev 6) whose firmware is original Linksys up to date.
I am setting the two Wi-Fi (Livebox 6 Cnl) and Cnl 4 on WRT54GS and different keys (this is manageable without difficulty).
It has its server DHCP and Wi-Fi to connect their machine.
What about the name of this second network group ? Currently “WORKGROUP” as well.
I am setting a range different on the router WRT54GS (192.168.2.xxx) and enabled the DHCP.
This "educational" network works perfectly when alone and separated from the "home" network and doesn’t get connected to Internet…
I want to connect this router Linksys WRT54GS rev6 cascading through the Livebox-2.
Share Internet via the Livebox-2 access.
What about functionality?
What is the connection to setup ?
Should it be simple physical connection with a cable between the yellow ethernet port "2" of the Liveboxbox and the "Internet" connector of the Linksys router?
Is this a good track to explore? I have searched extensively on the Internet but found proposals who are very old and refer to old Livebox... I did test and is not satisfactory...
I have described as well as possible the needs and the config!
It is the experts to speak now !
I am available for further information.
HOW CAN I ACHIEVE THE INTER CONNECTIVITY?

From what I understand, you want to extend your internet connection - from the Orange Livebox-2 to your WRT54GS. You can actually do this by cascading the linksys router to your livebox. There are tow ways in cascading routers: LAN-LAN and LAN-WAN. For more information about cascading routers, you may refer to this link: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=785463d9ecaf4cac84aed245b08d615f_3733.xml&pid=104&....

Orange Livebox again!!

Arghhhhhh ive tried all day to try and connect to my orange livebox with the i touch! With absolutely no joy! Tried changing settings on inventel, and tried using the number 1 button on the livebox. Just keeps coming up with the message unable to join the network. It is getting no information ie IP address from the livebox. and ive even tried selecting other networks and typing it in manually! can any one help with this? I have the new software for the i touch 1.1.2 do you think this is the problem?

When I set-up my Orange Livebox for the first time at the weekend, I managed to pair both devices after pressing the number 1 button (initially I had trouble joining the network - for some reason it hasn't worked in your case).
Earlier this evening, I upgraded the iPod's software to version 1.1.2 (3B48b) via iTunes v7.5.0.20. I have since purchased music wirelessly from the iTunes store on the iPod Touch without a problem.
I haven't changed any settings on the Inventel configuration pages - they are the factory defaults. I upgraded the Livebox's firmware yesterday evening and it's currently INVENTEL version : v5.08.3-uk.
In +Security > Associated devices+ it lists my PC (Device Name: Sony Vaio) and the iPod Touch (Device Name *) together with their associated device addresses.
In +Security > Firewall+ this is set to Medium (default).
If there's any other settings you want me to look at, let me know.

Tecra M5 fails to obtain an IP address with Orange Livebox

I have a new Toshiba Tecra M5 notebook.
When I try to connect to my Orange Livebox wirelessly, it manages to connect but fails to obtain an IP address.
I have spent days trying everything.
I have followed previous postings on this but nobody appears to have posted a definitive answer. I have tried updating wireless lan driver etc but have got nowhere.
Somebody please help before I go nuts.

Make sure you are using the correct encryption (WEP/WPA/WPA2 with AES/TKIP and password). Eventually you might want to disable the password/encryption to check your equipment for proper function.

Orange livebox connection problem

has anyone managed to connect their i-phone to their orange livebox? Orange tech support in India is hopeless...and Apple support in the UK is equally useless. I cant believe that these two massive players in the global communications industry cannot deal with a problem like this.

What kinds of problems are you having?
Did you search the Orange Livebox website? Since the iPhone settings are somewhat similar to what a macintosh would use, I found this on their website.
http://help.orange.co.uk/documentDisplay.do?clusterName=DefaultCluster&preview=1 &groupId=1&page=http://ESERVER_133439a7-1ad1-4702-b784-35d4ea680057.xhtml&docTyp e=1006&resultType=5002&docProp=$solution_id&docPropValue=kb14077
You can probably skip down to the actual settings area where it shows you how to get your WEP key, etc.

N95 WLAN Connection problems - Orange Livebox (UK)

I am trying to get the N95 to connect to the internet wirelessly through Orange Livebox (UK). I have run the WLAN wizard and the phone has identified it. I have input the WEP key and thats worked fine.......except everytime I try to connect to the net via this method I get a connection error. Has anybody else had WLAN connection problems? Can anybody help?

hi,
did you press "1" button at the back of the Livebox before pairing ?
what kind of error message do you get on the N95 ?
does it fail the same way when you go through the homescreen "WiFi scanning / Start Web Browsing" or through Tools / WLAN Wizard ?
Cheers,

Can't connect to livebox to use wifi

Hi, my mum has just got a curve 8520 so I've been trying to set up the wifi on it to use with our orange livebox, my dad and I have the same phone and I've connected those to the livebox with no problems but I just can't get her one to connect. I've put the pre-shared key in and press the pairing button on the livebox but it keeps saying it can't authenticate it and when i try to do it manually it just says it can't connect. Confused!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do you have mac filtering on the livebox router? Do you have enough available IP addresses allowed in the router settings?

Portege M400 - WLan issues connecting Orange Livebox

Hi
My landlord recently upgraded our WLan by introducing an Orange Livebox. I have tried everything possible to connect wirelessly to the router but to no avail.
All the other machines have connected with no/little issue/s. I have installed Configfree again, tried connecting through the Windows system as per instruction by Orange website, re-typed the WEP code several times. Tweaked the network connections, Installed the new Intel drivers and installed the Orange Livebox software. I'm running out of options very fast.
The wireless connection is found, it tries to connect but will not give me a network address, even with the lights flashing (as per Orange instructions), yet when connected through an Ethernet cable there is no problems what so ever.
I have had a look through the forum and found nothing that exactly matches my problem and tried to implement those suggestions that sound familiar but nothing has worked. Failing any advise, I will just have to phone either Toshiba, or Orange up for advice, however, I would like to be spared long conversations with people in Technical support.
I have a Portege M400 with an Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG built in adapter.
Any suggestions anyone?
Many thanks
David

Hi
In such cases its not easy to say why it happens.
One of my notebooks is not able to connect the WLan router because the router supports Wlan 802.11 BG mode and my Wlan card support A and B mode.
But you should firstly check if the Windows firewall was disabled. Then disable the encryption on the router and try to connect the notebook without the encryption.
Sometimes the MAC address filtering was set on the WLan routers. In such cases only the registered WLan cards can connect to the WLan router.
I would recommend disabling all filters, encryptions and then trying to connect to the wireless LAN. If you will be able to connect the router then you could enable the encryption again.

New iPad won't connect to Orange Liveboxs router...

New iPad 16gig wifi won't connect to Orange Livebox router...
I can see the router available as a choice in a list of wireless routers(presumably the neighbours' as well), I can select it, it changes from Gray to Black but then removes itself from the window...
I DO get a message about the 'base station', does this indicate a router issue?
I have a G5PPC imac working and a G4 powerbook and an iPhone all on this wireless connection - I can switch iPhone wifi on and off and the Livebox is readily found...
I also have access to a 10.6 macbook and it's network choice behaves in this fashion also - ethernet OK but no wireless....

I had the same problem. Unfortunately it seems that the Orange Live Box, which was previously the Wanadoo Live Box, is not compatible with a Mac. You can confirm this in the instructions for the Live Box. Completely rubbish and hopefully after mass buying of Apple products will convince Orange to upgrade their technology.
The solution that I use is to use a second router plugged in to the Live Box and connect to that instead. I can recommend the FONERA SIMPL from http://www.fon.com/en/product. I've now bought 2 as my parents also use the Orange Live Box at their house.
Hope that helps.

Switched from DSL to cable modem. My Airport light won't turn green. Keeps blinking orange. No wireless now and can't connect to more than one computer! ?????

Hmmmm.
If you reset the AirPort Extreme by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds and then releasing, the AirPort should be back in default settings which would allow mutliple computers to connect to the LAN ports on the AirPort.
Power off the cable modem for now and leave it off at least 15 minutes.
With the AirPort Extreme still powered on, hold in the rest button on the back for 9-10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking abmer light.
Then, power off the AirPort Extreme.
Check to make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme.
After the modem has been powered off for at least 15 minutes, power it up and let it run for 5 minutes by itself.
Now, power up the AirPort Exteme and let it run for 2-3 minutes
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Express
Click on the AirPort Exteme, then click Continue to follow the guided setup tp configure the AirPort Extreme. You can use the same wireless network name, password, etc that you used before, or set up a new name and password, etc.

Airport Extreme and Orange LiveBox (France). No access from Internet

Hi
I have bought an Airport Extreme and configure it to use BonJour and Mobileme to be able to access my connected (USB) hard disk when I am not at my home office. When I connect from other network I can see the device, but I can not access it. Actually even when I am at home I can only connect to the disk when I directly connect to the Airport Express, but not connecting via the LiveBox router. I have set up a DMZ zone directly to my Airport Express ID, but this does not seem to work either.
Anybody knows how to solve this?
Or what are the parameters for Orange in France so I can configure the Airport Extreme and get rid off the LiveBox?
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions!
I would highly recommend that you use an experienced IT professional for your proposed network. He or she will need to make an on-site inspection and take a number of measurements to determine the best way to design the network.
In terms of network design, the "best" and far superior design will have a main router distributing ethernet feeds to a number of other wireless access points.
Just from your preliminary information, it's very doubtful that trying to "extend" using wireless only will provide the reliable service that you need.
Please consult with an IT pro (and try to avoid using someone's friend who "knows computers") before you take any further steps. The money will be well spent.
