Security Question - How do I know if my Ex is getting in my wifi LAN?

Hello.  I hope this is not inappropriate to ask here.  I'm new and didn't see a previous thread about this.
My ex set up our home wifi network and I want to make it so that I know that no one but me is able to get in to it (short of hacking it or sending a virus). There was one hidden secured network and three secured that anyone could see.  Comcast said I should just turn off Airport and plug the ethernet cable to my MacBook Pro which will make it so he can't get in no matter what passwords or remote access he has to the wifi network.  My Ex is a network engineer.  Some weird things happened with two of the networks hours after he emailed the passwords to login to the networks.  Likely just a coincidence, but who knows.
Is that correct.  That's what I've been doing.  But now I'm moving all over the house with coax cables, voip wires, phone base, and power cords.
How can I "reset" the wifi with all new passwords and network name.  Do you have a link or instructions?  Would it be better to buy a replacement for the Motorola (Comcast said they'll swap it out for another one if I bring it in).
Using:
MCB, OS X 10.5.8 (will be upgrading to SL then Lion soon).
Comcast's Motorola SBG900 Modem/Router
Encore Wireless-N Router znd Repeater ENHWI-2AN3 (which is disconnected from Motorola now).
Thanks so much for any ideas or advice.  I'm not a techie (obviously), but I can follow instructions well.

- get your own cable service
- get airport extreme / time capsule, and set it to invisible mode
your ex sounds formidable, i believe apple provide better security than carrier provided modem/router
easier to set up and you can make it invisible to people scanning wifi around your house.
i will not use a cable network that bills your ex or that your ex set up and said as secure.
he is the administrator, he has the upper hand.
sorry couldnt be more help.
i shall follow this question.
also, set your safari browser into private mode so it does not record your browsing history
get your Mail accounts to not copies all your email history into your mac.
ps: if your re-naming your network, make it sounds like a car vin number so that is not obvious.

    It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.
