Or

Setup an access list on your wireless router and turn off SSID
broadcast.

Not as secure as encryption.

Read the book or use Google. Incase you can't be bothered -

Use WPA, turn SSID off, use MAC filtering, turn RF output down.

Though to be fair, that's not always very useful - if you
do send out SSID, it shows the channel is in use and some
neighbour might avoid it then... Changing from a default
setting may be an idea, in case there's a way to get into
<manufacturer name> routers and yours is advertising that
it is made by <manufacturer name> in the SSID! Peter M

I doubt he can use WPA as he will need to set up a RADIUS server for
authentication

Haven't you heard of WPA-PSK?
