You have basically two choices. First, install software like NetNanny on
all the systems. This works very well. Just remember that this relies
on effective passwords.

The other choice is to replace your router with one with effective
filtering, firewall and access controls. Turn the logs on.

However, if you have a nearby neighbor that also has wireless, your router
can probably be easily bypassed.
