you may need to reconnect or refresh the page before continuing at certain points.

Change your Sky Broadband wireless router settings
From the main menu on the left had side,
click
Wireless Settings under
Set up.If you do not want to use the router wirelessly, clear the tick box for Enable Wireless Access Point then select Apply. This will prevent any unauthorised user from accessing your wireless network.
Change your Wireless network password
If you intend to use the Wireless Network,
then change the default password (also referred to as a network key) in the
WPA-PSK Security Encryption section to one of your own choosing. Your password can
be characters and numbers – we recommend a mixture of both. Type in your new password, then select
Apply. This will make it very difficult for any unauthorised users to access your wireless
network.
Make a note of your new password
Write down the new password (network key) somewhere secure or on your Wireless Settings ‘Keep me handy’ card provided with the router, to be stored in a safe place. If you forget your new Wireless network password, you can either change the password to a new one following the steps above, or reset your Sky wireless router to the default settings - which will reset the Wireless network password to the Network Key/password listed on the label on the bottom of your router.
To reset your Sky wireless router to the default settings, with your Sky Broadband box switched on, press and hold a blunt pointed object (such as a pen) in the small reset button on the back until the test light blinks, then release the button. Your Sky Broadband box will restart with the default settings.
Reconnect to your Sky Broadband router
If you have changed your wireless password (network key), you will need to reconnect to your Sky Broadband router. Open the wireless connection manager window to see a list of available wireless networks in your area and select your wireless network from the list. Look at the label on the bottom of your router (SSID: SKYxxxxx) - and find the network with the matching code in the list, click to highlight this with your mouse and select Connect. Enter your the new password you created in Step 4 and select Connect or Ok.
These steps may vary depending on the wireless manager you are using, such as Windows or your wireless adapter's application.
