While the thought of getting in trouble for downloading warze is frightening, I have to wonder if you own a tin foil hat(JK). The reality is that if you have a somewhat recent router you should not need to A. Turn it off and B. unscrew the antenna. Why B if A in the first place??? If you're using encryption, hiding your SSID (changed from default) and using mac filtering it would be a difficult task for someone to jack your WiFi. While there is great need for better out of the box security when it comes to WiFi it can be made quite secure by doing some of the following.
A. Occasionally change SSID B. Occasionally change WEP Key C. Router Placement, try and keep it the furthest distance from the "street" D. If you use a WRT type firmware, adjust the signal to cover only the area you need. E. Use the built in logging of your router to provide usage data.
