Put in mind that now versions of WEP(Wired Equivalent Privacy) password are easily cracked and disabling SSID broadcast or changing your SSID name from the default are useless also MAC filtering is useless.
For a strong security, enable 128 bit WPA security on your Wifi system. And do not use common password like names or any words that can be fount on the dictionary instead use random WPA password and change it often at lease once a month specially if you are located in a crowded area where there could be lurking hackers or wanna be. Store it in a text file on a thumb drive and use this to change the passwords on all your computers. Or use WPA-PKA if your network will support that.
The best secure way is to turn off the wifi and just use LAN cable

How to be 100% Hacker Proof
If hackers can hack big companies like Sony(Click here to reference site) who pay thousand of dollars to their IT group to secure their computers what chance do you have? And in addition to that hackers can even hack some FBI computers and none of that they are also hacking. With the case stated we the simple computer users doesn't stand a chance specially with the popular hackers known as LulzSec.
I'm not paranoid about it because they are probably not interested in me or with you. First is if they are hacking for money, I only have little or nothing at all in comparison with what they could have get by hacking Sony. Second is if they are going to hack us it will be a very boring thing for them, no challenge at all, meaning they will have no fun.
But if you are still paranoid from being hacked, there is a way greater than buying expensive security protection software and firewall routers simply just turn off your computer or unhook it from the internet and do not make online transactions. That way you really have closed all the doors that they can enter and therefore you are now 100% secured on your side from hackers. I said on your side because if our bank, school, employer is online they can still hack in there to extract informations about us.
