Please suggest how to block these WiFi networks, and identify the individual orcompany who is creating this problem.

Hi,

There are a few things that you can do to secure yourself and your family. First, I would recommend setting a password for your network. The best passwords are between 10-20 characters, longer if you are really paranoid. It should consist of letters, number, and special characters e.g. !?$ etc.

Next, the way that they are probably finding your network is because it is labeled something generic like linksys, belkin, or your name. I would recommend that you see if your router has a setting to either remove the name or have it come up as hidden.

Those are the basics. If you find that this still doesn't work for you I can come up with some more security features, but I would need to know what type of router you have.

i would recommend configuring mac address access list, This will limit which devices can access the router. Take a look at Wi-Fi Tip - Enable MAC Address Filtering
