A couple of suggestions to keep your wireless secure once you get your system up and going.
Jason mentioned the SSID - do not leave it on the default. Change it to something unique.
If your AP has the option to turn off SSID broadcasting - do it.
If your card and AP support WEP, then by all means use it. I use 128 bit. And I periodically change the WEP key.
One other item - if you can do MAC address filtering, I would set that up as well. One more level that requires some real work to get through.
The above items don't stop the really determined competent drive-by hacker from getting into your system, but it will at least slow them down, and it will keep the so-so technie weenie hacker outs.
