Is it just a new Livebox ? Were you connected previously to Orange BB ?
If so what did you use to connect ?
The live box is brand new just out of the box. We previously used a speedtouch wired connection which was and still is working fine. I can't get the PC to connect to the live box with the ethernet cable never mind without it.
Enable DHCP server (tick in the box or not)
LAN IP address: 192.168.1.1
Broadcast LAN IP address: 192.168.1.255
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP start address: 192.168.1.9
DHCP server end address:192.168.1.200
If it doesn't post back with whatever results you see.
I was having the acquiring network address problem after I got set up ok and then decided to rename the SSID.
I found these instructions very useful to get sorted again but it wasn't the full story for me.
It finally started working once I deleted my laptop as a wireless device from the Livebox config pages.
Until then, none of the security changes or wireless network setting chanes made any difference.
I guess it needed a clean start. You can keep your laptop linked to the Livebox as a wired device, just delete the wireless device setting from the Livebox home page.
Hope this is useful for anyone stuck in the same position
trying to fix a Livebox for my mum... we had a new Livebox arrive yesterday after the previous one died, and now cannot get wireless internet. Wired works fine.
Yesterday, we had wireless network available, but could not connect (we were stuck on the "acquiring network address" window). Went through all the Orange help pages, changed all the channels, reset security etc etc. No dice.
Today, NO wireless network available at all... any ideas?
Aｃｔｕally. I did not, I used windows to connect to the Livebox. (I originally used the GHD when having the problems but reset the laptop to factory settings as described in original post).
Why are there no people to anwser me?
