Securing My Wi-Fi

First, for a secure network connection, the best wifi is no wifi. Get a wire.
Second, if you must use wifi, do not use WEP, use MAC filtering, and tell your router not to broadcast the network name (SSID).
Third, your wireless router may support an alternate firmware to give you more control such as DD-WRT.

Lastly, no matter how secure your connection is, treat it as if it is not only wide-open, but advertising its presence, because in theory it is.

I agree with all that but the hiding your wifi SSID because that only hides it from the average user, a hacker can easily see them and it would in my opinion just increase the hackers curiousity and make them want to crack it that much more. But that's just my opinion.
