A Wireless network really isn't all that difficult to lock down. A few key things to do are:
1.) Don't broadcast your SSID (The name of your network). This is easily configured in the software that comes with your router.
2.) Also included in your router would be the ability to setup a list of MAC addresses that have access to your network. Every network card manufactured has a unique MAC address, there is never a duplicate. Each of your PC's will have it's own MAC and allowing only those to have access proviedes security.
There are other features that work as well, but these are probably the easiest to configure. And for a simple home network, these should provide adequate security.
