In my router you can set the password see all ips connected(& the ones that have been ) in the network get the log so you can see traffic reports.
Block:you can block …so many thins:first of all you can assign the router to accept one some designated ips to use the router(you give them static ip addresses)so they won’t see the router if they are not in the accepted list!you can change the default port whit witch you connect to the router (default is 80)& block it to the person you don’t want to use the router’s settings page!ETC.
EVERYTHING I SAID I TESTED IT’S DUMB EASY!

firewall & filter to block ips from connecting to the router
does your router have firewall & filter?

Answer #4
Go to the routers configuration page,
Set the routers encyrtption to WPA2, probably under “wireless settings” or similar, and use a difficult passphrase to guess, the more obscure the better (eg. %*&)@~#?\¬«¥ÒÓ¶™ÅËžÌõúû) but you need to be able to remember it.
Then you will need to set the same details on each device that connects to the router, it should be quite secure. Don’t use WEP encryption, that is very easy to hack.
Once connected, you can always set the router to not display the SSID, so nobody will be able to see your network broadcasting (but you will have to enable it each time you want to connect a new device).
Answer #5
If for some reason that you are paranoid for security, Disable SSID broadcast and establish a MAC filter.
Normally you only need a WPA2 Personal with AES encryption, the password would be fine if it was a 12 figure ASCII code.
Answer #6
to above poster…
Are you serious? You obvioubly don’t know how easy it is to spoof a MAC address!! lol
Answer #7
Mac filtering is a waste of time , its simple for them to see the clients connected to the ap and their mac addy also , a simple command will spoof the mac to any address specified by the user .

What do you mean they are not working ?
If you use WPA2 encryption (with TKIP or AES) with a difficult passphrase, nobody is going to hack that.
As mentioned above, disabling the SSID broadcast will mean no-one can even see the wi-fi, let alone hack it.
My 7 year old neice can hack WEP encryption, lolz
