Hello, we are a family of 9, with 9 computers, and of course 9 Wi-Fi networks. Recently, I wanted to connect with an old computer that had a Wi-Fi key. I used it two or three times, and then I stopped using it. The problem is that for the past week, it has been in the non-connected devices. I would like to remove it, but it says I have to wait 3 months for it to disappear. I would prefer not to wait that long for it to be removed! I’ve also heard that it’s possible to delete it from the Livebox by backing up/restoring, and that it wouldn't appear anymore, but I haven't really seen proof that it works. What I want to know is, if I do a backup/restore, what could happen? Is there a chance that it won't work, that it could crash my Livebox, and if the other 9 are not connected when I do the restoration, will there be any changes when they reconnect because of the action I took, such as needing to re-enter the WEP key?
Thanks in advance!

Hello
Are you connecting to 9 machines on the livebox?
If so, you don't have 9 Wi-Fi networks but just one provided by the livebox, and you are connecting 9 to it!!!
How does having "non-connected" machines bother you? It doesn't slow down your network anyway...
Yes, you can possibly reset your box, but that's not the best/only solution. Except in case of an anomaly with it, which doesn't seem to be the case?!
If you haven't "yourself" changed its Wi-Fi identifier and/or security key (info on the sticker underneath), there's nothing to worry about.
But from analyzing your question, I doubt you've done that kind of thing ;-)
So, in my humble opinion, don't touch anything!!
See you later

Let him who has never opened a user manual throw the first mouse at me.

Therefore, have your Livebox replaced for this simple reason; it’s the least Orange can do for you, and it will give you a box with better Wi-Fi speed and reliability.
And I said "WEP key," I made another mistake (goodness... sorry :s), I have a Livebox 4! I don't know what it's called today, a security key?
The only thing that has changed so far is the password of the Livebox, but otherwise I haven't touched anything.
So it's quite risky to reset my box, even if I've made a backup beforehand?
I have no other solution at this time; there is one, which is to disable it from the Livebox PC app. I’ve heard it works, but I couldn’t get it to work, probably because there are steps I haven’t taken that are too tedious for me, so I gave up and turned here to look for a simpler or safer solution, especially.
Actually, it bothers me that there is a machine not connected because, to be honest, I shouldn't have...
Without going into detail, a family member blocked me, and I’ve bypassed the security more than once with another key, and since I know he realizes every time I’ve cheated, I want this time for him not to notice, that’s it. Sorry if it bothers you that I lie and don’t take responsibility, Brupala, I understand of course your frustration, but I prefer to act this way, no matter if it makes me look like a coward.
Anyway.
it's WPA key, more precisely WPA2.
