I don't know exactly what router you have but there might be an option in the config menu to set the output/transmit power. Lowering that should limit the range...

Yes you can usually reduce to 75% or 50%. In fact doing so can give you a better signal when you are in range i believe, the signal is concentrated instead of spread out as far as it can go.
