Orange Livebox Login: IP and Admin Password
Log in to Orange Livebox at 192.168.1.1 with admin and the first 8 characters of the WiFi key.
Connect to your Orange Livebox router first by WiFi or cable. Use the Livebox app as an alternative.
Orange Livebox routers open their settings at 192.168.1.1 or http://livebox. The username is admin.
On Livebox 4, 5 and 6 the default admin password is usually the first 8 characters of the WiFi key printed on the label. You can also use the Orange Livebox app.
The fastest way in: tap the login button in the box at the top of this page, then sign in with the details on your router label.
How to log in to your Orange Livebox router
- Connect your phone or computer to the modem WiFi, or plug in an Ethernet cable.
- Open a browser and type http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar. Or try http://livebox.
- Enter the admin username and password from the label or the table below.
- Once logged in, change the admin password and check that WiFi security is WPA2 or WPA3.
If the page does not open, check your Default Gateway with our Router IP Finder. ISP builds sometimes use a different address.
When the page will not open, I reach for a cable before I retype the address.
Orange Livebox default IP, username and password
| Device | Login address | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|---|
| Livebox 4, 5, 6 | 192.168.1.1 | admin | First 8 characters of WiFi key |
| Older Livebox | 192.168.1.1 | admin | admin |
| After setup | 192.168.1.1 | admin | Your own password |
If the first 8 characters fail, the password was changed. Reset the Livebox to restore it. The WiFi-key count is the detail I double-check before I call a password wrong.
How to change the WiFi password on a Orange Livebox router
- Log in at 192.168.1.1.
- Open Wi-Fi settings.
- Change the network name and key, then save.
- Reconnect your devices.
The Livebox app offers the same option. Need a strong key? Try our WiFi Password Generator. I change the key in the app when I want it done without opening a browser.
Orange Livebox login problems and fixes
- 192.168.1.1 will not load: make sure you are on the router WiFi, not mobile data or a VPN, and type http:// in front.
- Wrong password: check the label first. If you or your ISP changed it, the defaults will not work.
- Page loads but login fails: clear the browser cache or try a private window. Some routers lock you out for a few minutes after several attempts.
- Router from your ISP: the provider may manage it. Their app or support line can reset the admin password.
- Still locked out: a factory reset restores the label login, but erases your settings.
The VPN-off check is the one I run first when the page will not load.
How to reset a Orange Livebox router
- Keep the modem powered on.
- Press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds.
- Release and wait several minutes while it restarts and reconnects.
- Log in with the label details and set up WiFi again.
Your Orange connection usually comes back automatically after a reset. The ten-second hold is the part I never shorten on a Livebox reset.
Livebox models
Orange’s Livebox comes in several generations: Livebox 4, 5, 6 and 7 in France, plus versions in Spain, Poland, Belgium and elsewhere. They open at 192.168.1.1. The admin password is usually the first 8 characters of the WiFi key printed on the label, unless you’ve changed it.
The Ma Livebox app (or Orange et moi) handles WiFi settings, device lists and scheduling. I treat the printed WiFi key as the master password on every Livebox I meet.
Livebox settings worth knowing
- Wi-Fi schedule: turn WiFi off at night automatically.
- Separate bands: split 2.4 and 5 GHz if a device won’t connect.
- Port forwarding (NAT/PAT): under Network, NAT/PAT.
- DMZ: for consoles that need fully open ports.
- Guest WiFi: on newer Liveboxes.
The Wi-Fi schedule is the setting I turn on first in a house with kids.
Using your own router with Orange
Swapping the Livebox for your own router is possible but more complex in France, since Orange fibre uses DHCP with specific options and VLANs. Many people keep the Livebox and connect their router in the DMZ, or use a mesh system in access point mode.
The DMZ route is the compromise I suggest first when the Livebox has to stay.
Livebox lights explained
- Internet light solid: connected.
- Internet light flashing: connecting.
- Red light: problem with the line or Livebox.
- WiFi light off: WiFi switched off or scheduled off.
Restart the Livebox by unplugging it for 30 seconds. If the red light stays, check Orange’s outage page or the app. The red-light check is the step I take before I touch any setting.
Livebox and Orange TV
Orange TV boxes connect through the Livebox, often by Ethernet or the Livebox’s own WiFi. If you change network settings or add your own router, make sure the TV box stays connected directly to the Livebox. The TV-box-first rule is the one I keep when a Livebox setup changes.
