Orange Livebox

Hi,

I currently have broadband with Orange and I use wireless livebox. Can anyone tell why there is a USB port in the livebox? Is Livebox compatible with bloutooth?

Thanks

    It's more my partner who is the PC person than me and I'm not sure about Bluetooth, but we use the USB port on the Orange Box to network our printer so it prints from both PCs. I presume, likewise, it could be used to network an external hard drive or something like that.

    I don't really know about bluetooth, I'm afraid.

    I use the USB connection for my desktop as it does not have an ethernet connection and I use wireless for my laptop. I don't know about the bluetooth, you could try asking on https://www.orangeproblems.co.uk

    I have a livebox and use the USB port for a network printer.
    It is bluetooth compatible - log onto the router and look under security to set a bluetooth password.
