Get a full time network engineer to monitor your network.. :P
lolz jokes apart..
- Put WPA-2 Encryption with a password
- Reset your Console Password
- Enable MAC address access list
These are the only options available to us. If some1z good enuf to hack these..u cannot be helped, start using ur cables..

It's nothing to do with your Wireless router. Most probably your PC or Laptop is infected with virus or trojan horse or worm. Please make sure that you have appropriate protection.
1.Reset the user name and password of your ADSL Router
and restrict the management console access.
2.Reset the wireless authentication code of your ADSL
router.
3.Enable the security policy of your ADSL router
(Register your computer/Device address and reject
strange systems connection attempt)
4.Install standard licensed Antivirus and Spyware
Software in your computer and Mobile Devices.
5.Don’t open any spam mails from your inbox
yahoomail,Gmail,Qtel mail or anyother mail spam box)
6.If you are not familiar with IT subjects, better to
get support from a genuine IT person.
Spam may be from your PCs/laptops ...
To secure your wifi, 3 letters and a number: WPA2
Yap, like sandman said enable your wireless security and create a password (alpha-numeric with a special character, 128 encription WPA).
have a legit antivirus with full security installed in your system and not the downloaded pirated ones, try Kaspersky 2010 or NOD32 by Esset. it has anti-hacking, with it you are fully covered.
Its called secure wireless router for a reason. PASSWORD PROTECTION
