I can also confirm this. Most new routers will only operate at hi speed with the newer encryption standards, so if you have a G5 or G4 or even earlier, cat5 is the way to go.... I have many altivec-era ppc Powermacs and they will not connect securely to new routers. If that however is your thing, just find out how to adjust in your routers settings page. Sadly, I used a iPhone 3GS and a 4s and they were not allowed to connect unless I used the less secure settings on my router... you could always use another older router as an AP..... Turning off router functions and using it as a wireless switch, and in that routers function you only supply an ip to a few select devices such as your G4.... Just my 2¢. I’ve also done this and I know it works.... linksys routers are a dime a dozen and a second hand store or craigslist....
