That's easy..

Just disable the broadcast SSID in your router.

Your router will not be seen on a network search

Another option would be to filter by MAC address if your router is capable

I could try to explain but I'll step aside and allow experts show the way.
It takes a 16 digit passkey to access my home network.

Now that was fun.

I wonder where engine tech is going to go... I've already seen the insides of a (Constant Velocity" (or "Unlimited Gear Ratio") transmission, electronics ought to get suprising.
