Is that a dare? Bet?

Seriously, unless you are running TACACS+ or SSL over your WiFi - or are on a licensed frequency (your not) you are very exposed. If you have your own cable modem, that is a great step one. From there, if you are not broadcasting your SSID, that is a great step two. No DHCP Server, awesome step three....

A password be it WEP or flavor of WPA you may as well use 123456 as some 128 character cypher as Snort catches either just as fast. This would be even more concerning for folks who live near the "squares" and more populated places (but people messing there will go after the merchants mostly).

That said, if you have typical consumer or SMB hardware and not running RADIUS...takes about 30 seconds to break in (or less depending on signal strength).

But, again - the issue with network latency and seemingly randomly not function is a matter of the channels.
