Is it recommended that you change the newtork key/password on the router that Sky supply you with, ive heard you should but some say not to bother, also hows it done?

Depends on the router, normally a key is already set and you just type a new key into the box and apply it. Which router do you have??

I think the instructions given in Post #4 refer to changing the router admin password. The wireless network key must be changed in the Wireless settings section. Delete the existing key, which will be 8 capital letters and insert your own. This can be anything from 8 to 63 characters, high,low case, numbers or some punctuation.
