Hey, all. I have an iBook G3 Dual USB I'm trying to connect to my router (a Ubee DDW3611 from Time Warner), and it's not very happy... I type in my password and it spits up a message saying it is wrong. I know there are problems with the original Airport cards with newer systems, but I just don't know if the iBook accepts the following setting (default)...
WPA-PSK: Enabled
WPA2-PSK: Disabled
WPA/WPA2 Encryption: TKIP+AES
From what I see, I have a few options:
1) Run an Ethernet line and say screw it. Not my preferred option, though.
2) Change the security on my router to something older (like WPA). Not sure how to do this (I've never done this on a newer router and don't know how it will affect my newer toys).
3) Spend money to buy a modern USB dongle for the iBook (which is pretty pointless, as it only has USB 1.1) or buy a second router to hook up with an older encryption mode (like a domed Airport base or any old Belkin or Linksys B router I find at the Salvation Army... that way if anybody hacks it, they'll be stuck at a slow speed).
What's the next step?
