Ars Technica has published a very practical and easy to understand article called "Security Practicum: Essential Home Wireless Security Practices". If you have a Wireless network at home or at work, I bet you'll find great ideas in the article! (Source: PDA Gerbil)

Client-to-Router concerns
Cracker-to-Router Access to the LAN/Internet
Lock down must-dos
Change the admin password and turn off remote management
Turn off SSID Broadcast
Change your SSID
WEP: better than nothing
Go MAC or manual: the Promised Land
Disable DHCP, or limit it severely
Little tricks"
