Set up WPA2 security:

Also, for complete WiFi security, make sure that the main router login has a strong password on it. For the Wireless settings, make sure that you use WPA2 as the encryption algorithm. Then for absolute uncrackable security, create a password with a length of at least 12 characters, comprising a random mixture of upper case, lower case, numeric and symbol characters. That will give a bit entropy of >80 bits, which is currently considered uncrackable.
