do you have any other wifi devices? Did you ever use the accesspoint from your router? Did you ever successfully connect your powerbook to a wireless network?

We have another modem router, which wasn't as good, but my laptop did connect. And the Netgear one we have now, on the site, it says it works with Macs. I also took my powerbook to a friends house with the same model, and it worked.

We have never had a seperate router, always a modem router combo.

did you check for a firmware update? Actually the problem has nothing to do with the modem that is built in the router. You can't even connect to the accesspoint and lan. I would do this:
1. look for a newer firmware
2. reset the router
3. ask your friend to come to your place and try to connect to your router
4. hmmmmm, if all is updated and on default and not even your friends mac can connect, maybe something is wrong with the accesspoint of your router?!?

Let's hope it's not last..
