You own a wireless router and you can see your routers LED blinking
continuously even if none of you connected with your wireless router,
that definitely means someone is accessing your network.
#First: Use Mac Address Filtering to filter devices to be connected. If you want selected devices to be connected then bind only those devices with the router and others will not be able to access. To find the MAC address of your device type “cmd” in “RUN” and type “ipconfig/all” to view the physical (MAC) address of all the hardware attached to your system.
#Second: Set a password (Keyphrase), so that only those devices can access your network who will be knowing this password/keyphrase. To set a password open router settings->wireless settings-> wireless security-> choose WPA or WPA2 ->choose a password and click save.
#Third: Use awkward SSID name: Using some awkward name as wireless network can do something better, for example making it ” This Network Contains Virus” or “e:/virus.exe” will force stranger not to connect with your wireless network. Some other suggested names you can use is “Police headquarter”, “Service not available”. To change the network name(SSID) head towards the basic wireless settings after logging into your router.
#Fourth: Disable SSID Broadcast: One of the best option is to disable the broadcast of your wireless name (SSID). If its done then strangers will not be able to find your SSID name and will require to way process to get connected (SSID name and passphrase).

Who may be accessing?
To know who may be accessing your network, just login into your router settings using routers IP (Address may not be similar in every router) then go to the Router Status and check the connected device table. The table will list all the MAC addresses and IP address of the system connected. (Linksys users go to status-> network status->DHCP Server)Ways to prevent Wi-Fi getting accessed by strangers
