Answer Hi Tinito,
I'm assuming you have a wireless router at the heart of your network?
You should be able to configure security on this in several ways.
1). Hide the SSID of your network, so intruders don't know what network to connect to.
2). Add WEP encryption keys; Then there must be a passcode entered by anyone joining your network.
3). Reserved IP addresses. You can set the router to issue a specific IP address for each device. You'll need the Hardware addresses of the devices. If you need help with this let me know, but check your router has the capability first?
Let me know what hardware you are using for your network (Router)?
