WiFi - How to connect to Orange Livebox - Tecra A5

I cannot connect my Tecra A5 laptop to my Orange Livebox can you please help DO NOT if in this situation contact Orange they are inept and totally useless their telephone advisers do not even know the phonetic code when explaining typing codes/instrucions etc and are difficult to understand not being located in the UK

Sorry for asking you but what about the device manual?
Usually every product should be delivered with a own manual.

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.

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,

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.

Where will I get my password for Orange livebox to allow iphone wifi

Where can I find out the password for my orange livebox which I use at home to allow my iphone to pair up and use wifi when I am at home.
I have tried the 26 digit number on the bottom of the livebox but the iphone password box wont accept 26 digits
Can anyone please advise? Many thanks.

I have the orange live box and iPhone did accept all 26 digits of the password. What you might find it easier though, is to type the password into Notes first of all, then copy it, and paste it into the password section. You'll have to press and hold the left-hand button on the back of the livewire box before it can connect.
Let us know how you get on.

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.

You can probably skip down to the actual settings area where it shows you how to get your WEP key, etc.

Playing AirTunes from Mac via wifi (Orange Livebox) to Airport Express

I connect to the internet and serve a wifi network via an Orange Livebox (ADSL router + wifi) in my study. I've just bought an Airport Express with the aim of using AirTunes to stream music from my Mac to the lounge. I've also got a MacBook and ageing iBook and so use WEP instead of WPA.
Now I've managed to configure the AE to join the Livebox's network (remembering to prefix my 128-bit WEP key with a $ - took me ages to find that info) and have held the "1" button down to put it in pairing mode, but it won't give it an IP address via DHCP. I've tried configuring a static IP (10.1.1.50) using the Airport Utility which should fit in the IP range of the Livebox's LAN but although this gives me a green light, I can't ping it from my Mac.
I don't want to have to buy an Airport Extreme just to play my tunes in the lounge! Has anyone tried all this with a Livebox or similar third party wifi router?
Thanks, Barry

Hi Bob - thanks for your reply!
I guess I need to try and find out what my bottleneck is. It could be:
(1) My laptop connecting to my network wirelessly
(2) My Airport Express connecting to my network wirelsssly
(3) Both
Just thinking out loud here: your suggestion sounds like it would address (2) - if that's sufficient then my problem is solved. However, I do know that if I connect my media drive to the MBP via USB, but still have wireless connections for the MBP and Airport Express, I can get decent streaming performance. So perhaps I should try temporarily connecting the Airport Express and TC with a really long Ethernet cable to see if that is good enough when the laptop is still connected wirelessly, in which case I could then go the Ethernet powerline route.
Thanks! I guess I have a little project to keep me busy for the long weekend!
Cheers,
Justin

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.

How to connect my IPad to a security enabled wifi

how to connect my IPad to a security enabled wifi

iPad not connecting to a Secure Wi-Fi signal
Turn OFF your wifi hub so the network is not broadcasting (or go out of range) so the
iPad can no longer see the SSID
Choose another network
Type in the SSID (WiFi Network name)
Select the security type
Enter the password
At this point, you will not be able to join the network (it is not turned on or you walked out of range, remember?)
Turn ON your network hub and wait for the DSL or Internet to get connected, (30 secs to 1 minute in my case) or walk back in range
Then click the Join button on the iPad
Voila, as they say in Texas

How to connect my sony blue ray play to wifi via my airport utility?

how to connect my sony blue ray play to wifi via my airport utility?

The airport utility has nothing whatever to do with the sony bluray player.
The airport utility is to setup wireless in the airport.. once you setup wireless then you use the sony setup for wireless in the player as per its manual.
Please do keep the wireless names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
As well as pure alphanumeric passwords if you want to do this successfully.

Configure it directly while connected via USB first generally works.

How to connect a printer to Airport in WIFI with Windows

Hi,
I just would like to know how to connect my printer (Samsung) to my Airport network through WIFI (My computer is working with Windows).
Thanks

Well the easiest would be to plug your printer directly into your extreme using either the USB or Ethernet connection.
Make sure you then install bonjour and use the printer wizard to convert your printer...

How do i fix my wifi if it connects and the bars are blue but no check sign appears next to the wifi name and does not connect to the internet???

Did you already try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data.
If this does not work, try to reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset. After that you'll have to put in the passwords for all known networks again.

How to connect to wifi prompt with Apple TV?

To connect to wifi in public locations (e.g., Starbucks, hotels), you often have to click an "I agree" button after selecting the network. For business presentations in hotels and other venues, I carry an Apple TV with me. I connect the Apple TV to a big screen TV at the venue, then use my iPad to present content on the TV. You will know that the Apple TV and the iPad have to be on the same wifi network in order for this to work. But in locations that require an "I agree" in order to connect to the local wifi network, I do not know how to connect the Apple TV to the wifi network. Is there a way to see/accept the "I agree" button when connecting the Apple TV to the network?

AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.
