If I were the police I wouldn't do anything either. Too small of a fish. They're putting their straw in your chocolate milk, you should be able to handle that.
We need more detail on what your current setup is.
I know who is behind all of this hacking and he used to work for a company that protects our country, Raytheon. I am not the one whom is called a terrorist Tek_Freek, it's someone else I know personally. This person is selling thing on the black market. He even has ties to military information that can potentially debunk the secrets of the United States.
I on the other hand, will defend the US just like my grandfather and other members of my family did.
My grandfather was a LT. COL. in the US Air Force.

Wait, the person doing this works for Raytheon? Do you know what they are capable of? It doesn't matter how secure your wi-fi router is, they can and will get through it.
You know those new "smart meters" the power companies have been installing? Those are loaded up with Raytheon technology. Everything you do online is recorded by the meters and sent to Raytheon using ultra high security encryption.
Darn, even now I'm sure a couple of suits at Raytheon H.Q. are reading your emails while sipping coffee paid for by the shadow government.
You could try talking to the guy's supervisor at Raytheon. His willingness to hack into a neighbor's router might not sit well with his boss, especially if his job requires a security clearance from the government. Send his boss a copy of the police report, just for good measure.
As others have said, MAC address filtering, a non broadcasted SSID, and WPS with a good password are the best measures you can take. Make sure your password contains no words, and is a random mix of upper and lower case, and symbols. Someone is Iess lilely to crack your password if it is something like 448%$$*@(djjGIidS-882aHr((##;' "
If someone is still hacking into your router after these measures are in place, turning off the wireless feature and sticking solely to Ethernet are your only real options.
Not broadcasting your SSID doesn't help against current attacks, securing your WIFI should NOT be relied upon to provide any real protection. At least one very well respected security expert advocates leaving WIFI open: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archiv...n_wireles.html
If you don't use portable devices, turn off the WIFI and connect with a cable.
Computer and network security cover a HUGE landscape of threats, you have to either trust some third party (norton, whoever) or spend a lot of time learning about and keeping up with threats. My job requires that I keep up however that's probably not your situation.
There is no easy solution, if there were virii/worms/trojans would no longer be an issue.
