How often should you change the charaters once set up? Weekly, monthly, or never?
I have noticed two other wireless signals in the neighbourhood!
Thanks

For good security, you should change all your passwords on a regular basis.
If you think someone may know your password then change it immediately, otherwise once a month should easily suffice for home routers.0 -
It isn't necessary to change a WPA password if you make it random and long - e.g. generate a 63 or 64-character random key at https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm by refreshing the page.0
