Disconnect the router as they have also probably hacked into your computer also. Then using a wired connection. Reset the router, shutoff the wireless, reset the password, check your computer for intrusion and reset passwords. Back at the router set encryption and hide ssid. You can now turn on wireless and reset each wireless station. Limit wireless access to your computers only. For more safety you might reenable the wireless at a different location before reinstalling.
