Use lousy antennas, long antenna cables, or lower the output power of the radios inside the APs. Best would be to lower the radio transmit power, but that may not be an option for your radio. Next best is to lower the signal with a poor antenna or long antenna cables. For security, don't let any of the wireless clients get internet access. This will make the APs much less interesting to folks you don't want using them.
