1. USE WPA!!!
2. put the MAC addresses of all pc's connecting to the wireless into the
wireless router and deny access to any other MACs.
3. always change default name and passwords
4. turn off SSID broadcast
5. use other than the default channel
6. strong passwords
it won't make you Fort Knox, but it goes as far as you can out of the box.
