I had the same problem. I have a linksys router with wpa2 tkip. The ibook g3 and pismo would not connect, but setting the encryption to wpa personal tkip made it work fine. If it doesn't work for you then wep may be okay. If you don't have any neighbors that you think would hack it, then it'd be fine. Even today people can hack a wpa connection... Good luck!
