  Used to be hard, but now, no. In fact, it's too easy now. A tool has been released specially for that.

  Yes, most probably. I suggest you turn off wireless and used the wired function of your router.

  Some one else. And the one breaking into your account.
  
  Putting a password will solve your problem temporarily, but I reckon if he's able to crack your account, he will crack your network password as well, which is why I asked you to use wires instead.

  He doesn't need to hack your computer. The hack tool can run on his own computer, which is why there's no threats found.

  Yup. Laptops have those ports for wired connections.
  
  There's no such thing as a more secured wireless router. They are all the same. It's the way you secure it that makes the difference.
  
  Using MAC address filtering, using a password (correct term is encryption) to secure your connections is the best.

  No. Call for hacking, maybe. But good luck finding him.
