you can implement WEP encryption.
you can not broadcast your wireless network id.
you can use directional attennae.
you can use strong passwords and do all the right security stuff: keep critical updates and service packs and virus software/definitions up to date...
you can use a bridge for building to building connections and restrict access to the other router's MAC address...
is this the kind of thing you are looking for?
