1. disable SSID broadcast on the router (if possible) and manually enter it into
each pc that needs access.

2. MAC address control. enter the MAC addresses of all wireless hardware that
you want to allow access

3. use at least 128bit encryption...either WEP or WPA

Change the SSID as well, dont just stop it broadcasting the default.
