The Security Key Changed On Me And I Have No Idea What It Is Now.
I've read on line that WPA2 changes the key periodically. If that is true, then how can I find the new key so I can have access to my wireless network.

There is a small pen sized hole on the back of your router. Use a ballpoint pen to press and hold down the reset button for about 15 seconds. This will wipe out the security settings in the router. Then follow the steps below to secure your router.
Type the router IP address, "192.168.0.1", into your Internet browser. Press "Enter" on your keyboard.
Enter your username and password to log into the D-link configuration panel. By default, the username is "Admin" with a blank password field. To prevent outsiders from being able to access your D-link router's configuration panel, change the username and password to something more secure. This can be done by selecting "Tools" from the menu and selecting "Admin." Select "Administration Settings" and enter your new username and password. Save your changes by clicking "Apply."
Enter the IP addresses for the computers you want to give access to your router. You can do this by clicking the "DHCP" link underneath the "Home" tab. Click "Apply" to save the IP addresses.
Select the "Wireless" link underneath the "Home" tab. Enter a name in the "SSID" field to identify your wireless network.
Choose "WPA" for your "Security" option. WPA will provide the highest level of security for your wireless network. Create a WPA password to access your wireless network. For maximum security, enter a combination of numbers, letters, and symbols. Store your password in a safe place in case you ever forget it. Click "Apply" to save your settings.
