All very good points above.
There is no 100% protection against being hijacked. But it comes back to doing as much as you can to make it as hard as possible.
If someone is wanting to steal WiFi, they are likely to pick up several sources from where ever they sit and do their detection. They will always go for the easier targets first... so if yours has as much security as possible, you go to the bottom of their hit list.
So far I have not had any break ins to my home setup... WPA2, AES, Hidden SSID, Long tricky pass-phrase, and my router set up so it only has enough IP addresses for the devices I connect with, and I change the pass-phrase now and then.
When I was running my own e-mail server (dont do it anymore) I was constantly being attacked over the net, always unsucsessfully. But so far no one has gotten into my setup... via net or WiFi. I say so far... becasue I dont want to be complaicent.
Keep all your gear updated with the latest security patches, pick a router with a good firewall, run anti-virus / anti-malware software, don't visit too many dodgey web sites and become infected with trojans and bots, put as much security as you can on your Wifi.
After that you have done as much as you can... an expert with enough time and motivation would still be able to get in... but I cant see why any one would spend the effort needed to hack me when there are much easier targets around.
