There should also be an option in most routers allowing you to turn off broadcasting the SSID, this means the remotes have to know the SSID (plus WEB key etc..) in order to connect. By not broadcasting the SSID, someone can't pickup your network by doing a site survey.
The other thing you can do is enable DHCP, and then set a range of addresses for only the number of PC's you will have on your network. Plus the other suggestions made above and you should be fine.
BTW, I have the D-Link 802.11b router w/ 4 computers running through it and a cable connection, no performance issues except when the cable is running slow.
