    There are a variety of ways: WEP, WAP (if your router supports it), change your SSID from the default, set it not to broadcast the SSID, and MAC address filtering. Basic intro guide:

    About Wireless Network Security

    Take a look through the posts on this networking forum and you'll find plenty of advice and info. Going to dlink's website and looking at the manual and/or forums there will be very helpful too.
