Its a crappy Livebox from Wannado (now Orange)

Cannot get any laptop to connect to the livebox except the one that has been connected since a PC support bloke 'fixed it and made the laptop the main source'??

I'm out of ideas before resetting the router entirely or buying a new one?!

Have tried connecting my laptop and another. Have ensures the existing laptop is switched on and also tested with it switched off?

DHCP is enabled?

All laptops see the wifi network, but theres a problem connecting? Have tried with security switched on and off. The router fails to see the devices.

Any ideas?!

Them liveboxes are cunts.

Don't they have a button youhave to press to allow a new wireless node to connect? A physical button the side of the stupid thing?

Just spoke to a mate at work who says it could be tied down to mac addresses.

I'll check the button on the side but the livebox is a piece of shite
