dazzybee Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Hi, okay, I have set up many wirless routers and never experienced a problem and have tried (I think) everything! The ISP is Orange and the house uses a Livebox (god these things are effing shite), I gave them my old ADSL modem router combo (Belkin), ignored the livebox and plugged it straight in - now the computer reads the box but it just isn't connecting - its got excellent strength etc. But its just not reading it. Anyone think of anything I can do? What I think it could be is that you HAVE to connect the router to a computetr via ethernet at first, to set it up, and then you can connect wirelssly, is this correct? I don't have an ethernet cable to try it, I'll do that tomorrow, but wondered if anyone knew what could be going wrong or if this is definitely the problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

Charlie Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 With my router you had to connect via ethernet first, I'm using a Linksys one though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
