    Strong Password.

    Set Encryption to WPA or WPA2.

    Set Remote Administration OFF.

    set an WPA encryption key on your router and don't broadcast its SID.

    If you see her MAC address, you can usually block using that.

    Make sure you have a solid password on the router.

    wow that's not cool, i would put a strong password and have it be WPA or WPA2 witch is harder to hack so try that and see what happens.

    hope i helped :)
