I have my Virgin Router set to WPA AUTO which is the highest security for your devices. Make sure you dont use WEP or have your security disabled.Wep is like having it disabled it's useless

and enable ACL's so that you allow your MAC addresses to use it, even more secure. That's if your router allows for it. That way only devices you have explicitly allowed can connect.

Until someone clones one of the mac addresses.

Make sure your password is a mix of lower & upper case letters with numbers & none regular characters (if it will accept them).

None regular characters being >*-=+, or anything else you can find on your keyboard.
