when you set up you wireless network see that every access point by default broadcasts beacon messages that contain the information about you wireless network and if not protected with passwords every one can see and connect you wireless network
if you suspect experience users around you house :)
1) disable SSID broadcast in the wireless router this will keep out sending beacons and announcing your network
2) put password WEP or WPA2 [again WEP is weaker against hackers but it will work if you these hackers are lazy ones for breaking your WEP keys :) ]
What else can I help you with?

How do you block someone using my wifi?
Wireless LAN technology uses an open media (the radio frequency). Other than shielding your entire house in a closed metal cage, you cannot prevent anyone from accessing it. However, you should enable solid security using WPA based on a strong (=long and difficult to guess) password to prevent anyone but those knowing the password from using your wireless network. You can't stop them from trying (except when building a Faraday's cage around your house), but you can prevent them from succeeding.
How can see when someone is using your wireless connection?
the lights on the router will flash and in the network folder of your computer it might say the computers name that is connected to the router. The hacker will not be visible if he has his computers network settings set to private. If the lights are flashing continuously and you know that no one else in your house is connected to it. Switch it off to avoid any serious threats

What is the password for wi-fi network Den?
Wireless internet is local, so "Den" is someone else's wireless internet that is next to you that someone (e.g. next door neighbor) is paying for, so distributing the password would be illegal. In other words, if you want wireless internet, either go to Starbucks, go to a friend's house, or just pay for it yourself. Nothing in life is free.
How does a wireless doorbell work to notify you when someone is at the door?
