Hello,
I have a phone that has Bluetooth and my Livebox has Bluetooth too. When the phone searches for Bluetooth devices, it detects the Livebox. But it asks me for an access code.
I therefore went to check the configuration of the Livebox, I set the code I wanted, on the phone I enter this code, but it says "unable to pair a device."

Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 2.0.0.3

Well children, a little clarification is needed…
Bluetooth is a very different technology from Wi-Fi, even though it uses the same frequency range; they cannot be compared.
Wi-Fi uses several frequency ranges and emits its signal in parallel.
Bluetooth, on the other hand, only uses a serial emission.
To learn more on the subject: http://www.commentcamarche.net/bluetooth/bluetooth_intro.php3. This presentation is extremely well done and available on your favorite site…
First of all, you should know that your Livebox has both a Wi-Fi card and a Bluetooth card. It is actually the latter that causes problems because while the Wi-Fi card can be partially disabled, the Bluetooth card cannot be disabled without simultaneously disabling unlimited telephony (the only way to do this is to physically remove it from the Livebox by unscrewing the casing). But that’s another topic…
To access your Livebox menu, you need to open your favorite internet browser and point to the following site:
http://configuration.adsl or directly via IP at http://192.168.1.1
Click on the link "Access to configuration pages (restricted access, password protected)." in the case of an Inventel, or directly enter your username and password (default is admin, admin).
I strongly recommend that you change the administrator password at this point, you never know…
For the Sagem, you should have a network menu, and the option to go to Bluetooth by going to the "Security Control" panel. Then indicate a new PIN code. Do not enter the same digit four times, or your potential hacker neighbors will connect to your Livebox for free and eat up your bandwidth without you knowing (Well, it’s a maximum of 1MB, but still… Don’t forget that the range is almost 100 meters…)
For the Inventel, you have a security menu on the left, then Bluetooth, and thus the ability to set your own key. By default, the code is 1111 or corresponds to the last four identification digits of your Livebox in some cases.
It is not possible to send anything to your mobile via the Livebox without the utility provided with your phone. All mobiles have a proprietary architecture and software, which must generally be delivered with your toy. Moreover, the purpose of connecting your phone via Bluetooth to your Livebox is solely to allow you to retrieve your photos on your photoblog or to surf the net thanks to it. Some Orange phones even become lounge phones, meaning that when near your Livebox, they also receive calls arriving at your landline and Livebox number in addition to your mobile number… All in one, basically…
If I forgot anything, let me know…
