What the 'ol salt said. I will put in my $0.02, tho. I prefer to bridge routers with Cat5e rather than WBS or equivalent.
For security, you can simply not broadcast your SSL as the simplest level. That will, however, require everyone to know your SSL.
Next level is a 'password' on the DHCP. Which gets messy with devices like Xboxen.
Next level is a wireless security protocol, which requires you to use odd passphrases like "listentoyourmother" (hey, make it memorable). the good news is you usually only need to set it up once for each device that comes into the house. The bad news is that visiting devices need to go through the setup.
I personally run an open wifi setup to avoid any hassle. The bandwidth stealers all live in my house :banghead:
