Set up WPA-PSK with a strong password. Job Done

Mac filter is false security.
Hiding SSID is false security.

WPA-PSK + strong password/passphrase will secure your network.

Also I think you router has Secure Easy Setup (SES) but I've never used it , so couldnt comment on that. I think it requires your devices to understand the SES 'handshake' most of which tales place unencrypted. I would avoid it, and just set your own *strong* WPA-PSK passphrase on all of your devices. (So I did comment after all : )
