It could only be hijacked if you didn't change the default admin password or left it open with no wireless encryption.

Pull out the router manual, reset the router to factory defaults and walk thru the manual page by page until you are done configuring and securing your router.

Ask questions here if you get stuck. You will need to tell us the make and model of the router when that time comes.
