Complex? Nah mate, you should try some of the SMC stuff. Ye Gads.

You've just been lucky.....and it looks like your luck just ran out. Theres a known weakness with the RC4 algorithm which has been exploited by such tools as Airsnort and WEPCrack so your key is definately "not hackable".
You're lucky the changed password got your attention! But then again maybe you've been paying for someone elses internet access for the last 3 years.
Some local kid probably saw that broken episode about hacking wireless networks and decided to try it out on you!
Moral of the story - Change the default router password!

If you don't have a reset button, then I have no idea...I know you don't want to use the reset button because getting the settings is too hard? Sounds like you need a d-link as thats something that my one can detect for itself...
Ah, just read that its sorted now, glad I set up a password for the wireless straight away. Hope you have done the same now.
Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.
Oops sorry thought you were using WEP - must pay more attention!! WPA is hackable by brute force but only something like 50 attempts per sec. I remember hearing something about using some hash table that improves this to 18000 per sec tho? Anyway your 7 char password isn't that big and if it's in the dictionary then thats even worse. Not sure how easy it is to hack this with the tools available and whether its within the realm of your local script kiddie - need to look that up.
