Log into your router interface (Google your Homehub version instructions to find out how), go to the wireless section and enter the new key. Save and exit.
Then on each device you wish to reconnect you will have to find the correct network and enter the new key.

thanks! all done. my devices automatically reconnected after i reset the router. i am worried that anyone i may have shared the old key with will also still have access.

If all of your devices automatically reconnected after you reset the router, you have reset the router to default settings and have not actually changed the wireless key!

More worryingly, this will have switched off encryption and also be broadcasting your network's name and presence, unlocked, to everyone within range of its signal.

so what am i doing wrong. i have double checked and indeed it was still the old key. i have changed it now and when i try to reconnect, it does not even ask for a key, just says unable to connect!
