I am located in the Netherlands, and I am with
Orange Broadband. Therefore I have the Orange
Livebox, which I've been happily using for over a
year.
I have just decided to try and make this
wireless, however, as Orange charge extra for a
card to fit inside the livebox, I was looking
for a one off payment that would allow me to
connect wirelessly without paying extra monthly charges
to Orange. I was advertised to purchase the
"Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 High Power Wireless G Access Point
w/4 Port Switch", which has arrived today.
Following the instructions I am getting absolutely
nowhere...
Ethernet cable from Modem into WAN port on
Airstation - check
Other cable from PC into slot 1 on the
Airstation - check
Start up Livebox, wait 1 minute - check (all
lights come on as normal)
Start up Airstation, wait 1 minute - check (two
green lights come on, the bottom one occasionally
flickering as you would expect)
Boot up PC
Connect to Firefox, Flock, IE (whatever browser)
"Internet cannot be found" message.
Go to 192.168.11.1
"Internet cannot be found" message.
Refresh wireless network list - there is the new
unsecured connection there.
5% of the time it might actually connect, and
you will see the settings screen from 192.168.11.1,
this however will cut out at every available
opportunity.
I've no idea what to do next. Any ideas?
What I am trying to achieve is simple. I am
keeping my PC wired, but I want wireless available
for a laptop in another room, I want it
secured so that neighbours can't steal bandwidth, but
that is about it. So whatever the easiest
solution is, I'm interested in that one

Hi, well firstly if you can manage to connect
the wireless access point with the ethernet cable
to your PC, then go to 192.168.11.1, once you go
to the settings page, look for the WEP security
option , you would see the option to enter the
10 digit WEP (For 64 bit encryption). So thats
your security, and in order to make the wireless
connection better, you can try changing the channels,
this option would also be available in the
192.168.11.1 page.
Hope it would be a little help for you
