You're not using only MAC address filtering are you? Because it is somewhat easy to hack past that. I would also use WEP or whatever other security features the router supports.

Personally, I prefer a wired connection whenever possible. I ran a network cable from the basement (where my modem/routers/switches are), across the joists, and up through the walls to a CAT5 receptacle plate for each room in the house. This may not be feasible in your case though.

My wife (using a Mac) and son (laptop) use wireless, otherwise I would have disabled wireless altogether.
