Some work on hacking the Livebox has been going on for a while. Suggest you
Google Livebox and hack.

Probably not, but try it and see. They lock their mobile phones to
their own service so I wouldn't be surprised if they can do this for
routers as well. But why would you want to do this if you are using
the Orange service? Why not use the Livebox for your own connection
and give your sister the router you're currently using instead?

Fairy nuff. You won't have the internet phone service with somebody
else's router though, and the Livebox won't get its updates from
somebody else's service. All it would take would be an ethernet hub.

I'd be surprised - I'm having enough trouble getting it to work with
Orange!
