And turn off SSID broadcast - you'll have to type the SSID manually in order to connect the first time, but it will keep your router under the radar.
I had broadcasting turned off for years and wanted to keep it that way, but as soon as I got an Android device it couldn't find the network. I had to type in the credentials every time I got back home, or toggled wifi on. Very annoying, and I finally turned broadcasting back on.
Apple devices try to ping all known networks repeatedly to see if any are active (a trade-off in battery depletion) so they don't have that problem, but Android just scans broadcasted networks to see if it already knows any of them.
