The iPhone 4 can be connected to the
Wi-Fi through the
Livebox. According to the configuration settings in the iPhone, the
Wi-Fi connection drops when the
iPhone 4 goes into standby or inactive mode. If the
WEP key is not stored, the
Wi-Fi will not be able to re-connect automatically. This happens as the
iPhone and the
Livebox have not been
paired. To solve the issue, a new connection has to be established after deleting all previous connections to the
Livebox. Before pressing the
join button on the iPhone 4, the
Livebox must be put into
pairing mode by pressing on the
BUTTON 1 as marked on the device. Once the Livebox is in pairing mode, the iPhone can connect to it.
iPhone 4 and Orange Livebox Wi-Fi issue
Issue
I purchased an iPhone 4 and want to connect it via Wi-Fi to my Livebox. As long as the iPhone is active, the Wi-Fi is excellent. As soon as the phone goes into standby or is inactive for a while, it drops the Wi-Fi signal. I have been told this is a battery saving function. However, when my problem is activated again, it forgets the WEP key and does not re-connect automatically. I get the message "unable to join.....
network".
Solution
Here are the steps that are required to connect your iPod/iPhone to a Live Box (Wi-Fi): I have had the same problem.
Configuring the iPod/iPhone
- Go to Settings
- Select Wi-Fi
- Move the little slider and the Confirm Access cursor to the right
- Select the small blue arrow (network) and select "Forget this network"
- Return to the main menu, choose Settings, then Wi-Fi and wait for the iPod Search all Wi-Fi networks.
- Click on the name of your network (not the blue arrow but the name of your network).
- The iPod then asks for a password. This password is the WEP key of the Live box (it is located below it)
- Enter the WEP key respecting the uppercases (press the arrow below the Q, at each letter you write) AND WITHOUT spaces...
- Do not press "Join" immediately, you must first put the Live box in pairing mode
- Configure the paring mode of the Live box
- Press BUTTON 1 of your Live box to put it into pairing mode. The LED flashes Wi-Fi Live box and now with the iPod select "Join".
- Wait a few moments that connects the iPod, from now you can surf the internet.
- Setting the Live box into pairing mode is done only once.
