You can just to change a secure key of connection to your WI-FI router, it's enough to protect router from anonymously connection.

Also if your router is support VPN, you can to create VPN connection between your PC and WI-FI router, it's for secure protection of your internet connection.

It's also important to look at what type of encryption is being used when setting up the key. WPA is relatively insecure, AES seems to be the hot ticket these days, so is TKIP, but I've heard rumors that it might be compromised.
