Hello, I just installed Windows 7 on my Acer PC, but my computer only connects to my Wi-Fi (Orange Livebox) for about twenty minutes, after which the connection drops and I can't reconnect. I have to restart my PC. I only have Windows 7 on my computer; I erased Vista, which was my previous operating system. I’m embarrassed to say this, but I almost regret Vista...
I think this is a problem related only to my computer since apparently Windows 7 works well and my Wi-Fi connection was working and still works fine.
Thank you for helping me if you have a solution..

Uh,... I know I'm looking at the available wireless networks and I connect like that, without a USB key and without installing anything.

I have exactly the same problem as the topic of the thread, but I'm with Free!
And I still haven't found any solutions!-
Hello, I'm also with Free, and I'm having connection problems. I installed Windows 7 instead of Vista; my Freebox is detected, the computer connects to it, but when I open any browser, the connection drops (message "limited access"). The same goes for MSN. I have to restart, but the problem remains the same after the restart. Help someone, please.

Suggestions: How to configure your WiFi connection on Vista and Windows 7
Since Windows XP, Microsoft has integrated a WiFi agent into its operating system, called by the company "Zero Configuration."
First of all, to use it properly, it is necessary to disable other WiFi software to eliminate any risk of conflict. To do this, you can check the article in the FAQ on this subject: Conflicts with WiFi agents
If you are using a laptop
First, ensure that the internal WiFi adapter is enabled, see this article for more explanations and details:
Enabling built-in WiFi on a laptop
Enabling the service on startup
In order to work with "Zero Configuration," the wireless service must be enabled on startup. Therefore, we will check this setting or modify it if necessary.
Go to the Start menu, then Run. Here, you will enter the command "services.msc". You will get a window containing all the local Windows services.
In this list, look for the service corresponding to: "Network List Service." Once you locate this line, right-click then Properties. Check here two things:
Startup type: Make sure it is set to "Automatic," otherwise indicate "Automatic."
Service status: it should indicate "Started," if not, click on the "Start" button just below.
Once this is done, click "OK," then close the various open windows.
Enabling Windows network management
Once the automatic wireless configuration service is active, we need to enable Windows network management. To do this, we will go to the Control Panel then Network and Sharing Center. In most cases, Windows will recognize your access point (Wireless networks are available), in which case click on Connect to a network
Select your access point (Its default name is often indicated on a label in a corner of the modem/router for most "boxes," if you are using another access point, you will need to configure the WiFi settings first before you can use the wireless connection), click on Connect, then enter the WEP/WPA key in the designated area (the default key is also often indicated on the same label located on the "box"). To find out the type of key and the encryption of the default key, please refer to the user manual for your BOX (try WPA Personal/TKIP), then confirm ....
Make sure the PC is receiving a signal (see the screenshot above) ...
... You are connected!
I'm not able to do it!
Your access point does not appear in the list of available access points
This case is rare with most "boxes" sold for Internet use.
If you find yourself in this situation, first check that the access point is operational for WiFi: there must not be a missing WiFi adapter and the WiFi network must be enabled. To enable it if it is not, you will need to do so temporarily using an Ethernet cable (for the duration of the configuration).
However, it may still be that the access point is hidden; in this case, follow the procedure in the section below "Manual configuration."
Manual configuration
In the Network and Sharing Center, click on Configure a connection or network on the left, then Manage wireless networks; if your access point does not appear in the list of available networks, click on Add then Create a network profile manually. Enter the Network name (=ESSID) and the security key. To find out the type of key and the encryption of the default key, please refer to the user manual for your BOX (try WPA Personal/TKIP), check the two available boxes then confirm ....
After confirmation, you are connected!
For your problem, you will need to change the modem/router from your provider. Because their routers have very limited configuration. You will need to purchase a D-Link WiFi router and connect it. -

Actually, I completely formatted my PC and reinstalled Windows 7, and now it works.
Thank you very much for your help.-
Bonjour, moi aussi j'ai un nouveauordi mais Windows 7 est déjà intégré à ma Livebox Orange mais j'arrive pas à me connecter. Le Wi-Fi marche, il détecte mais quand je clique, Windows ne peut pas se connecter. Je ne sais pas comment faire. Merci !
- Well, despite Mr. incomprehensibility :s (written in French helps ;) )
I have the same problem with several computers :s all of them are good quality ACERs, with built-in wifi, and all running Windows 7, but the connection with the livebox doesn't work while there are no issues with the freebox :s I don't know why :s
Could someone tell me a bit more, please ????
Thanks
Best regards - Hello
For your information, I just called Orange, and they told me that the issue with the Wi-Fi connection with the Orange Livebox is on their end; in fact, their Liveboxes are not compatible with the Seven system at this time.
Consequently, within a maximum of one month, Orange will make available for download the drivers that will remedy this problem.
Just so you know, I couldn't connect either at a friend's place who has a Darty Box.
It would be interesting to know if other people have this problem with the Darty Box as well. - Hello,
I have an ACER built-in WiFi since December 30, 2009 with Windows 7 and I haven't had any connection issues with my modem (clun-internet box). Moreover, last weekend I was at a cousin's house who has an "orange" modem (old model) and by synchronizing (using button 1 on the modem), I connected without any problem. I'm not solving your issues, I'm just pointing out that it worked for me! (with old modems) I hope everything gets resolved quickly for you.

Well, I announce that for anyone who has a wifi connection problem with Livebox and Windows 7, go to your Orange agencies which will give you a CD compatible with Windows 7; their Livebox is not compatible without this driver they provide. Anyway, it worked for me XD
As for Freebox, I don't see what the problem is, I just found my wifi network with the PC, then I entered my wifi key and connected... it worked right away
Thank you XD -
I'm so happy, after rummaging around here and there, I finally have my answer!!! All you have to do is connect via the red cord (ethernet) and configure your live box http://192.168.1.1 (enter admin for the username and password), then go to the "wireless network" tab, check that the network is enabled. Then click on "new MAC address" (at the bottom) and enter the numbers from your network card (you can find them by typing ipconfig/all in the command prompt. The network card is the wireless one) apply and miraculously the wireless connection works. WOUPI!!!!
-
hahaa and kaayjar, your problem may be due to the MAC filtering of the livebox: the livebox must register the MAC address of your network card to allow you to connect, and to do this, you need to press a small button underneath the livebox.
-
Hello,
I had the same Wi-Fi connection problem as you, and I read on another forum that you need to press the button on the back of the Livebox (Liventel), and it worked for me!
Good luck -
My Windows 7 computer recognizes my Livebox but does not connect to the internet. There must be a problem with the internet gateway, but I don't see how to fix it. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I have the same problem. I have a Compaq laptop that sees the Livebox but doesn't detect it. It's a pain, really. Orange says that a 64-bit driver will be released for it to work, but there is one that's 32-bit. That's because of Win7. If you find a solution, I'm all ears!+++
-
I also have this problem .. I got my Easynote TJ65 Windows 7 computer this morning, but I have a big issue with the Wi-Fi because when I enter the WEP key and press "enter," it says "Windows could not connect to WAN...." I've tried everything but nothing works. Has anyone ever had this problem and can help me because I'm really out of ideas.

I had the same issues as you and I found this "effective" solution that I suggest you try.
Wifi problems solved:
Go to the site: http://gestionbbox.lan
1. General tab
* Check "channel width 40" (2.4Ghz)
* Uncheck "channel width 40" (5Ghz)
? VALIDATE
2. Security tab
* For 2.4Ghz: WEP encryption, copy the given key into a notepad (e.g.)
* For 5Ghz: WPA2 - AES encryption
? VALIDATE
?
On the PC to connect to Wifi, after removing the previous "failed" configurations in "internet configuration settings" (Win7), "network connection," select Bbox, paste the WEP key into the designated box. Put the Wifi in pairing mode on the Bbox.
WIFI is working, problem solved!

I had the same problem, you need to install the drivers and utility for your key compatible with a 64-bit Vista version, but I'm having major lag issues :s
-
2 days of hell, but by using Internet Explorer we found the Livebox and configured it with the key while thinking about the pairing button AND MIRACLE. As for Orange, they are useless, no information at all.

Hello,
to connect to Wi-Fi with my ASSUS EEETOP all-in-one and use it like a laptop, I had to set my Orange Inventel Livebox to "no security".
Today I just went to the site:
https://assistance.orange.fr/livebox-modem/toutes-les-livebox-et-modems/installer-et-utiliser/connecter-et-associer-votre-materiel
I was able to access free software for download:
Livebox software compatible with Windows 7 - Orange Support
But it is true that since I bought this new computer in mid-November, everything was fine except for the past 3 days when
I have been unable to access my "normal" email.
I have an appointment with a France Telecom agent next Monday because I couldn't resolve it through 3900.
See you soon maybe

I have an alpha 500 mw booster that works well with XP but not with Windows 7.
What should I do, Nick? -
Hi guys, well the solution for me was: I installed Seven and it finds all the drivers itself, and that’s probably the problem. I have an Acer Aspire 7730G and on the support site for Seven, there are no drivers for my card, so it provided me with a basic one with which I can do the bare minimum but it doesn't work for hotspots. I then downloaded a driver for XP 32 bit, extracted it, and ran it, and the magic happened right away. Voila for me.

Je suis le genre de problème, maintenant j'ai un PC de marque ProLite, mais je ne peux pas installer le modem PCI ni le câble USB non plus ? Et je voudrais me connecter à Internet aussi. Selon votre avis, comment vais-je faire ?

I also had a problem with my Wi-Fi which was detected but not connecting. At first, I thought it was because of Windows 7 installed instead of Linux, but no, I just reset my modem and it worked. If that can help...

Hello, I have a problem that is similar to yours: I bought a laptop that has Windows 7 and I can't connect to Wi-Fi on it: it recognizes that I have a Livebox but when I click on connect, it doesn't give me the option to re-enter a key or anything else, it says "Windows couldn't connect to the internet". Additionally, when I click the association button on my Livebox for 10 seconds, no light blinks..
Can you please help me as soon as possible?
Thank you.-
After reading all your issues, I believe that the problem actually lies with the configuration of your Liveboxes.
The older Liveboxes in particular did not use the same channels as now, and in the Livebox configuration for those trying via a laptop with built-in Wi-Fi, the WEP key option is not sufficient under Windows 7; you need to upgrade to WPA PSK.
I no longer have a Livebox at home, but I believe that this could be the solution.
In my view, the problem is that Windows 7 supports more encrypted data. -
