I have an old Wanadoo Livebox from back before they got taken over by Orange. We have now decided to switch internet providers and I can't find a way to get the Livebox to connect to another service provider (I didn't really expect to be able to) so I am just using the new modem with a wired connection at the moment.

I'm wondering if anyone knows how I can set up the Livebox to use the new modem instead of its internal one and still be able to connect wirelessly to the internet through it? Or even if I can reconfigure the internal one to connect to the new ISP?

If not I will be in need of a new wireless router that will either use the new modem or with an internal one I can use but I don't really want to spend too much on it so if anyone could recommend one I would be greatful.

Thanks
 
No, you can't configure the LiveBox to use anything other than the built in modem as its WAN interface.

Thanks, I was afraid that would be the case, was just hoping I could avoid the expense of a new router.

Netgear DG834GT with DGteam Firmware, will beat the livebox with anything. Awesome router, cheap too.

Thanks, I'll have a look at that router
