You can do this in a number of ways. The first is to add a password to the router, meaning that someone can only connect to the network using that password. Check the manufacturer's website to guide you how to access your own router and where you would find this function. The second possibilty is to hide the router's signal so that it doesn't broadcast the SSID. That way, unless you know the network is there and what the password is, you won't even be able to browse for it. Use a strong encryption on your routers wireless signal. Nothing less than WPA2 personal encryption. Use MAC filtering to grant access only to those computers on you know are on your local network and finally, disable the posibility of accessing your router's configuration page both from the internet AND from wireless connections. This second feature may be a bit annoying as you always need to be connected to your router in order to configure it, but it's worth the hassle for the additional level of security it provides. With all of these methods applied, no one will ever be able to steal your wireless connection.
