Hi all… firstly… sorry for the English!!
I currently have a livebox 5 installed, but would love to switch to a livebox 6 to take advantage of the 2,5Gb Ethernet port.
Orange won’t provide a livebox 6 without moving to a new plan… however I see you can but a livebox 6 on eBay for only 30€.
Does anyone know if these boxes are locked to our accounts via their MAC address? Or can I just buy a livebox 6, plug in the fibre, use my username and password, and be happy?
Thanks for the advice!

Hi,
Orange only checks the serial number from the ONT, hardware version and fti/password. With these informations you can connect to their network, even with 3rd party hardware as many already did. There is a section dedicated to this hack in this forum.
In you case, I am not sure it will work because the S/N of the ONT will probably change. I am not sure if using the same SFP from the LB5 will keep you the old S/N.

Thanks!
Yes, ideally I’d like to have my UDM Pro connected directly, but it seems that it’s not as simple as it could be.
