I am expecting some responses from your side as early as possible.

AirPort technology developed by Apple is simply the Wi-Fi Now all Macs integrate this technology AirPort and can easily connect via Wi-Fi to the Livebox. I think that following the steps mentioned by the 'Zachary', will help you. You have two ways to configure your wireless Airport:

• Independently via the advanced options of Mac OSX
• So assisted by a wizard that guides you step by step.
