iBook G3 Unable to Connect to WiFi after new router

[yanksrock100]

I bought a new router yesterday, since my old one kept dropping Wifi. Got it all set up, and it was working great on my iPod, tablet, and brothers laptop. Now I went to my iBook, and it is unable to connect at all! It just says "There was an error joining the AirPort network", for the million times I have tried.

Im guessing that since it is a new router, it is unable to connect to the iBook, since its older.
Is there a way to make it connect?

iBook g3: 10.4.11 Tiger
Wifi router : WPA2 protection

What OS are you running on the iBook? Also, what protection scheme is the router set to? (WPA, WPA2, etc.)

Chances are that you may be running too old an OS for your iBook to support more modern protection schemes on routers.

That error is caused by the network being set to WPA2 only mode and some b+g+n wireless modes can cause it as well. Your network needs to be setup to WPA+WPA2 mode and the iBook must be running Mac OS 10.3.9 or newer to be able to connect to a WPA network. If you're still getting the error, try turning off the N wireless mode if your router has N.

I am running 10.4.11 Tiger. It says on the box "WPA2 protection".
Is there a way to change this?

The original Airport card in the iBook G3 cannot use WPA2. You must set your wireless router to WPA+WPA2 mode to be able to make it connect.
