Have you got both boxes switched on and connected to your network at the same time?

[pspmixer]

no one is switch off and other is on

On your Router, identify if your box is connected, identify the F3's mac address, then see if making your router assign a static IP to your F3 helps..

dont know how to
another way to and will try that last

[nibblitz]

See, we dont know if your box is even connecting to your router, or if your router is giving your BOX a unique IP.. Unfortunately theres not much else I can advise you try..

When you get the time spend a while learning how your router works, because then you'll find troubleshooting any home networking connection issues will become a whole lot easier.

Or you could simply try the Utube function. If that works, you can safely assume your connected through your router to the internet.

Strangely enough I connect my f3 to a sky router and also get an orange light

[pspmixer]

someone said to me is the router which is only feedon out 10 mb instead of 100 how do i change that then with sky router

sorted it now
turn dhcp off
your ip should be top line
and on bottom line(dns alternate) you need to set it as 192.168.000.088
