To receive wireless signals on the iBook, it needs to have an Airport card installed. He would need an Aiport Extreme card, if the machine has not already got one.
Once he has it installed, he can receive wireless signals that use the 802.11b or 802.11g signal.
The Netgear or Belkink wireless router will work just fine for you both.
Just follow the instructions and read the Apple help file for information about connecting an Airport extreme fitted iBook to a third party (Belkin/Netgear) wireless router.

Hi,
I have a Dell Laptop and my roommate has an ibook. We want to get a wireless router and he tells me that he can only receive wireless signals via airport. Around my area, i've been able to use several people's unsecured wireless networks while he has not been able to.
If we are to go wireless, should we get the airport router then? Would i then need to buy some hardware to use the airport?
Or, should he get an adapter and we get a Netgear or nelkin wireless router?
Thanks for your help.
