Best Answer

There are different things you can use to restrict access a wireless access point.

First one is to use so called black/white lists. Black list forbids certain MAC address to access the wireless access point everybody else is fine. White list allows only certain MAC address to access the wireless access point. Sometimes it's called MAC filter.

Second thing you can use is a wireless password. It allows to connect to your network only if you know the password. You should use WPA at least.
