Orange Livebox

Although hardware for these services is built into every Livebox, some (Bluetooth and Live Printer) are only activated by firmware updates.

Due to deliberate restrictions embedded in the firmware, Liveboxes in the UK are locked to Orange.

In the firmware update of February 2008, the ability to adjust the audio quality of the VoIP service was added.

The Second Line was a VOIP service which included a separate telephone number, was withdrawn for new customers on 17 September 2010.

Orange are now quoting an end date 27 March 2013 for all remaining Livebox Second Line customers.

In the firmware update of February 2008, IPTV support was added via the Yellow Ethernet port and would be for Orange customers who had been in the network area (LLU).

[5] An IPTV service is available to most Spanish customers via an extra decoder box that connects to the yellow Ethernet port of the Livebox.

The service allows for streaming of several free channels, while others require a paid subscription.

[6] The decoder can be connected to an aerial allowing for free-to-air channel reception via digital terrestrial television.

The new Livebox has a pairing mode for Wi-Fi: Wifi Protected Setup (WPS).

In December 2011 WPS was shown to be vulnerable to brute-force attacks, and should not be considered secure.

The devices can also access a shared printer connected to one of the router's USB port.
