Ok, Assuming your wireless router can use an open Linux distribution
or your wireless router connects directly to a linux firewall, you can
use the following tools to set up proper encryption and authentication
between each allowed client and the router.
I have never done this but know it's possible.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol_over_Ethernet
Using pppoe the client computer makes a connection to the wireless
router, handshaking is done, The client is given an IP address for the
pppoe connection.

The ssh tunnel provides proper authentication and protection for the
otherwise insecure and sniff able traffic that is broadcast
wirelessly. This step also ensures that a non trusted client cannot
transfer any data over your network.
As I say earlier, I have not done this, I cannot explain any further.
Good luck but this Is what I am looking to implement on my network.
