Recently i have moved my laptop from downstairs as my parents dnt want it there anymore therefore not being able to have it directly connected to my livebox (wanadoo one) so i bought a belkin wireless adapater/dongle (what ever its called) and it didn't work, so i searched through some forums and found out that only wanadoo/oranges own inventel adpaters work, so i went and bought one, i now have it and connected it up. It finds the livebox and i have put the WEP key in but it will not connect ( i have tried with windows wireless programme and the programme wanadoo sends you when you first get it and it will not accept it. I currently have my computer with the original Inventel wireless adapter connected and this works. Is there any way to fix this or do i have to pay £25 for a network cable
cheers
I Have also tried the new inventel wireless box on my computer and it doesnt work but the one working works on the laptop to, does the new one need to be configured ?
The thing about only Inventel dongles working isn't right, i currently have Belkin adapter connected to mine and it works perfectly fine.
The way i got mine working was by doing the following...
- Put the Livebox into pairing mode (Press the 1 button on the back of the Livebox)
- Go to the other computer and search for the Livebox.
- Select the Livebox and select to connect to it.
- Input the WEP Key and it should then connect to the Livebox.
- Test internet connection, and it should be working.
The box will only connect whilst it is in pair mode, which will last for around 10mins default. Connecting when not in this mode will not work.

Just so it's clear, connecting to a livebox while it isn't in pairing mode will not work unless it has previously connected whilst it was in pairing mode.
Basically once it's done you don't need to do that again, unless you ever factory reset the box.
