Log into the router and look at your wireless features. One of them allows you to filter access on the mac adress of the computer. Enable that and only allow the mac adresses that you know about.
To see the mac adress of the computers you want to allow access for, go to the command line prompt of the computer and type "ipconfig /all" This will show you the "physical" (mac) address of that computer.

Just be sure to use the security features built into your wireless system.. WEP, WPA, encryption will cause you to need the correct "password / pass phrase" to get into your system and will cause all the transmission between the system to appear as jibrish to anyone snooping.

Enable WPA encryption.
The "How To" is in the Router user manual.
