WPA Key Rotation

My wireless router is currently set for WPA encryption. There is a field that reads "key rotation", and it wants a value in seconds. However, the instructions say that to disable key rotation, enter a value of zero. The router came default with this set to zero, and thats how its been running for about a year.

Now, as I understand it, one of the main benefits of WPA encryption is that the keys are rotated, so why would the router come default to NOT rotate the keys? Could my security have been breached? I use a random 20+ length password, so I doubt it could have been guessed, but who knows. How long would that have taken to crack without the keys being rotated.

My next question is, what should I set this to? Its currently set to 10 seconds. Is this too high/low? Any recommendations?
