If you have a choice id avoid the livebox at all costs

Dont you?

Dont you?

No. Ive been using my speedtouch router for a while now, then a normal modem before that.

i wont have the second line that comes with orange broadband if i dont use the live box, but i dont think i'd use it much.

So I can just plug another one instead of the livebox? What benifits will this have?

Ive installed around 8 live boxs from orange and never had a diddly squat problem. Installed many routers and have never had a problem.
