    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.

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