We powered the modem down and the router,as well, a couple of times
attempting to resolve the issue, but to no positive result. The Router
AND Modem are completely usable and accessible with no problems after
these reboots of the modem and access point (Router). The issue seems
entirely specific to his g4.

I will attempt this. My previous efforts included attempting to create
a new "profile" in the Networks Control Panel specific to our home
router, but it keeps demanding the router's password - then rejects
(repeatedly) our network's password. ????
I'll see what comes of your keychain access suggestion.
