Your Powerbook will not upgrade past 10.5.8. Is your data backed up?
not much on the computer os 10.5.1 currently you think i should back it up anyway ?
Yes, because the only point in upgrading is the slightly better security of 10.5.8, and slightly better application compatibility. Upgrading could reveal underlying issues you wouldn't otherwise see. If you are having issues besides know compatibility issues, I wouldn't upgrade.
10.5.8 can be found here:

i thought that upgading would help my wifi but it seems like the airport card that i have wont work with wap or i dont know how to config it
First identify which Powerbook G4 you have:

Then compare these two pages to determine which Airport card you have:

If you don't have an extreme card internal compatibility, you'll want a WiFi ethernet bridge with 802.11g or better to maintain a secure connection, with your Powerbook hooked up via ethernet to that bridge.
WPA2 is not supported by Apple's original Airport card.
