if your powerbook has an airport card, you should be able to connect just fine.

OK, I just purchased a Belkin F5D7130 Extender/Access point. At first I was able to log into the access point but now my firefox browser will not log into it. I have also tried my IE. Any ideas? or how to reset the defaults without getting into the user interface?

take a look at the manual. Often there is a way to 'soft' reset or 'hard' reset these things without the user interface.
