Wifi broken ? in our vacation in France we now also have a wanadoo livebox, but first it only worked on lan connection and not wifi, and then after it didn't work on lan but only wifi , 2nd is ofcourse better, but we really had much difficulties with it!!

the Wifi is fine, i'm using it now and so is the other computer downstairs. i know that with a ps3 you have to change the routers settings so that its wap security and not wep. i helped my friend do this as his ps3 would also not connect. maybe i'll try this and report back

OK, here is the possible resolution.

I have my son's iPod touch connected to the orange livebox but it took some doing. First I set the pairing period to 1 hour, this can be done from the admin console on the livebox menu. It is not essential, but makes the whole thing a little less rushed.

Press 1 on the side of the live box.

Enter you WPA key into the

iPod Touch - important to note the following:

The Alpha characters ARE case sensitive and MUST be in upper case. Now I know this sounds strange, but I had exactly this issue on my macbook - trust me follow this to the letter - pun intended! Press the shift key BEFORE each alpha character and do NOT use the caps lock. It works - but it did take me 7 attempts of keying in the key before it took it.

Hope this helps

I couldn't get my windowsmobile phone connected to my livebox at first either. I fixed it by changing the livebox config to only use WPA encryption rather than WEP and WPA. This could be the problem here too.

Now that my dad has a ipod touch and we're on vacation in france, i'm also having problems with ipod touch connecting to livebox. But regarding to the password, or the clé de securité. on the livebox it shows a space after 4 characters and on the end there are 2 characters, do i need to type those spaces too on my dads ipod touch??
