Bot Net is just a simple program that's running on your system that outsiders can control, it uses common ports so nothing to do with the WPA on the router.
They're normally installed by running a bit of rogue software, visiting a bad website or opening a bad email attachment.
A clean windows install will get rid of the program but there's always a chance that you'd do exactly the same thing that let the original one in...
