If you know how to log in to your router Rosemary, which you should be
able to do from your web browser, you can (i) go to wireless security
and set a password, and/or (ii) set up a closed network. For the
latter, look for something that says "publish SSID" or "broadcast
SSID", along those lines, and elect not to broadcast your SSID. This
means that people can't see the name of your wireless network publicly
unless they know the name of it. So you might like to change the name
of your network as well.
Some high level tips - you may need to state the make & model of your
router for someone to give you more specific direction.
Cheers, Steven

How do I know? How do I stop it?
