Does your wireless modem only allow one pc to connect at a time?

Trying to find out if Tiscali's cheap one only lets one connect too.

your talking about a livebox yes? thats what Orange call there wireless jobbie.

If its the livebox i believe you can connect more than one thing, i.e 2 pc's or use it to connect other wireless devices.............. i think

Not the livebox, the cheapy one they give you with their homestarter package, I wondered if they put that the livebox connects more than one to make you go for the £20 package!

well im on the £15 a month but ive got the ADSL (non wireless) modem, just straight into the phonesocket and pc jobbie.
They actually offered me the livebox and sent it to me but after a month or so i sent it back because it was disconnected more than it was connected i didnt actually require a wireless connection anyway.

In answer to your question then, im not sure on that, its clearly a modem ive not heard about

why not ring them and ask? their normally pretty good on the phone(the answers they give and hold time)

We had the livebox on Orange and was down for 2 out of the 3 months we last had it.

Cancelled and went with BE Broadband and never been happier. Top connection, speed is brilliant also

i've been on the orange (previously wanadoo) broadband for 2 years and its never been down once (touchwood)

i have the livebox and regularly have 3 pc's connected using it, with no problems.

i have had MAJOR problems with BT broadband at several places of work in the past, the email servers going down, regularly no service whatsoever, blah de blah.
