iBook G3 A1005 M 8758LL A I can’t get the AirPort card to accept my AP’s WiFi password! My network is identified. Password is not correct according to the error message. Also, I took my iBook to the local coffee shop that has WiFi and uses a login page. My iBook will not log in by clicking the ‘Connect’ dialog box. Also, I tried the “hotspot” on my iPhone 6, same issue found the signal but rejects the password! I have connected my iBook to my home network via cable, got the network and an IP address, but rejects the password! Update (01/31/2016) I have Charter cable internet. I have D-Link 825 wireless router that has the pass word. I even tried going from the modem directly to the iBook, and checking the internal Ethernet on the iBook,, sort of worked, just did not d/l all that may have been on the page searched such as photos
You maybe facing a compatibility issue here as your iBook’s AirPort card & OS are limited on what they will work with for a WiFi AP connection. You see, your iBook’s AirPort card is only able to support 802.11b wireless connections. So, if the WiFi AP you are trying to connect to is either a 802.11g, 802.11n or 802.11ac AP it maybe not setup to accept 802.11b connections. You also have a second issue here, if the AP is yours you have it setup to accept WPA or WPA2 connections. Your AirPort card and OS you have on this system won’t allow you access as it can’t do WPA or WPA connections. The last thing you might be facing here is the network password to allow you access to the AP (coffee shop). You will need to access them what it is or how to get one as its not your systems password and it also maybe case sensitive so you may be required to use UPPER case, MixED case or all lower case. Update (02/01/2016) The password is only for the WiFi connection, not the Ethernet connection. When connected via the Ethernet connection: Sounds like what you saw was the limitations of the web browser you are using. The problem is the Web sites standards are moving forward while your system browsers standards it understands is standing still ;-{ So you are able to see something (granted not the greatest rendering of the web page). So now what happens when you connect via the WiFi AP, killing the WPA security (password requirement) for the test. Are you able to see the same web page as bad as it is?
Connect to your modem router box administration through an USB cable and switch off the Wifi security key. And tell me If you can connect with success.
