I have a SMC wireless router which I use it as access point.

- I enabled the 128bit wep and filter client by MAC.
- At my linux firewall, I blocks any unknown internal addresses
- At my linux firewall, I blocks all outgoing traffic to the internal 
network as well as internet except DHCP and PPTP (vpn).

In order to connect a wireless client to my network, the following are 
needed:

- Add a reserve host to dhcp server
- Unblock the reserve host ip at the firewall
- Create an account on the the pptp server

I'm not sure what else I can do since this is only a home network anyway.
