    Setup encryption and boot him off.

    Yep that is a good plan. However if they need internet access not sure on that router specifically but you might be able to block the P2P ports . Check out the Adminstration capabilites of the Router ;)

    May also be able to log activity - show it to them and suggest if this continues to happen - they will have to be killed <haha> or a punihsment of your choice ....

    That is what I would do. You can also limit his downloads speeds if you have access to his puter. Some routers also set priority...I don't remember which ones, you would have to check out your router.
