    You have a few options.
    1. disable DHCP, set all PC's on your network to static IPs
    2. do MAC filtering: only allow computers with the MAC addresses that you specify

    Of course you should always enable encryption - strong WEP or WPA.
    You don't have to broadcast your SSID which may hide your network.

    Here's a few sites for you:
