Here’s the official word from the mothership:

<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2594>

To join a WPA network, a Macintosh computer must have:
• an AirPort or AirPort Extreme card (see Note)
• Mac OS X 10.3 or later
• AirPort software version 3.3 or later for the AirPort Card (available via 
Software Update)

Note the OS X 10.3 requirement. A Clamshell WILL run 10.3 (the 466 MHz version 
is updatable to 10.4)

As for cutting back your router to WEP; that’s kind of a situational thing.

WEP is trivially crackable, meaning it’s easy to get ‘inside’ your network, 
either to use your internet connection for free, for nefarious purposes or to 
set up man-in-the-middle style attacks on your own connections

If your Airport menu looks like 
this<http://support1.gearguy.com/useruploads/images/mac2.png> you probably want 
to avoid it. If you only ‘see’ your network, or yours and a couple others at 
one bar,  go right ahead.
