http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106777to verify you get the correct airport card. Older eMacs that do not take the Extreme card can't connect to 802.11g, nor can they use anything more secure than the original WPA networking protocol, which isn't as secure as WPA2. The exception is adding an ethernet wireless bridge at the eMac that can connect to your existing 802.11g network.

So it would seem based on your suggestion I need to make my eMac a wireless bridge. Would this mean checking on my Belkin router for brand specifics on how to do that or is this something that can be done with anything? I had not researched such an option.
