Yeehaw! It let me go through those steps after I gave it the serial number again. I didn't have to tell my igadgets to forget; they went to the "new" network all by themselves. Thank you so much! I can't tell you how much better I feel.

Thank you! Unfortunately, I have no idea what security option I may have chosen or how to change that. Apple is also telling me to configure the router and change its name but I don't know how or where to do so. Apple does show me the option to Forget This Network. Sorry to be so ignorant but it's been quite some time since I installed this.
