From a legal perspective, be sure your DSL contract allows you to share it with a non-family member. Sometimes there's language in the contract that specifically forbids this, as well as forbidding reselling the service.

Regardling wireless security, I have my access point set up to use both encryption and MAC address authentication. Plus all my PCs run ZoneAlarm intrusion prevention.

When the tenant connects to to your access point, he is on your internal network and will be able to see any resources, e.g., printers, shared files/folders, on it.

Just curious, why doesn't your tenant get their own DSL connection?
