secure wirless

Easiest way to keep most people out is to enable MAC authentication on your AP/router (as long as it's supported on your device).

It's not that hard to get around it, but 99.9% of the population either doesn't know how or doesn't care to spend the time to get around it.

what about enabling a WEP key?

You're going to have to let us know the model of your router for us to be able to provide any further help. :)
