Don't know how old your iBook is, but some of the older models have some problems with specific routers and/or WPA2 encryption. You could try changing that to see if it solves your problem.

No idea... I just know that before i had the software of the router/modem upgraded , my iBook used to work perfectly using WPA security.

Software is OS X 10.4.11 Tiger


Yes, so check to see if your router is still on WPA - or switched to WPA2...

I have seen many problems with older Apple gear and misc. wireless access points and routers using WPA and WPA2. Especially Dlink, but maybe I can add yours to the list.

Maybe you can revert to your previous firmware? At least for testing?

My guess is that your upgraded router/modem firmware contains updated WPA and WPA2 software, which doesn't work with your iBook.
