If you have entered trusted MAC addresses into the router and have taken all other precautions such as turning off broadcast and set up encryption, you are pretty well protected by the routers available security options. Some activity will always be evident as the router is checking for communication from your devices. In my routers, I can log on and watch the packets on the wireless end if I am suspicious.
