f1steveuk Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I suspect I know the answer to this, but!!!We travel between the UK and France quite a lot. I've set up a PC in France, but now the other half and I tend to take our laptops with us, so wifi is the obvious next step. We currently have a Sagem 800 Fast asdl modem in France, but I have a UK Orange Livebox spare in the UK, which I could take over with me. Power isn't a problem as the anti surge multiplug unit goes into the mains via a French plug, and all the computer stuff plugs into the multi plug on English plugs (good for charging UK mobiles!!).So, will the UK Orange Live box work in France??

Bob T Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Not sure on that one Steve, but you can use a cheap Netgear wifi router with your French Orange provider. Just so happens that I have one laying on the shelf here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1steveuk Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hi Bob, yep, I have a spare one of those too, but you cannot use it in conjunction with a ASDL modem, and they don't have a built in one, where as a Live box does. I think it should work, so probably a case of sucking and seeing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 The one that I have here has a built in modem. It is a Netgear 834 modem/router with wifi. I used to use it with Wandoo/Orange before I moved to SFR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1steveuk Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Will do. Does it have a software cd etc? And what would you like in exchange?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Does not need software, just your Orange logon details. I'll help you set it up if you wish.Nothing to you as you are just down the road and you have helped Jude out in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
