+1 for MAC address blocking. That will all but sort out access to your network - and funny how that article never mentions this basic and fairly robust security measure.
Any wireless data can be intercepted and brute force decoded by a suitably determined person.

If you believe that your network traffic is that sensitive, then don't send it.
