If you want to add extra protection to your wireless network hide the broadcast SSID. So when you want to connect to the network your modem will not show and will have to enter the SSID, security encryption type and password manually. This is people with wireless modems who live around you can't pick up your modem at all unless they know the name and other credentials.

Stefan, hiding the SSID doesn't help much. Some devices won't connect, and anyone with a wireless sniffer will eventually pick up connection packets containing the SSID. WPA2 with a complex passphrase is about as good as shared secret crypto gets at the moment. If you want more, you need centralised security like Radius, and I've never got that to work on my network.
