Be sure to set an ID/Password for your router. I have a situation where I live in an apartment and I can literally tap into 5 or 6 unprotected connections - meaning anyone can leech off them and not pay a dime. To avoid this, make sure you don't just plug in your router and leave it on the default settings,,,because default is typcially unsecure and accessible to anyone!

If you set a password for it you will be fine, it is very unlikely someone is going to hack you unless you are a targeted.
