How can I kick people off my WiFi that if they have the password?

You can change the password by contacting your internet service provider. Once you've done that, all connected devices will have to reenter the password.

SSID is your Wi-Fi name. To update the password, go to Wireless Security and change your SSID (Wi-Fi name). Below that is where you change your password. Do not change anything else in wireless security though, just your password.

Switch phone providers, that's all or you can politely ask your neighbor if you can use their Wi-Fi.

Beware, if you change the SSID or password for the wireless and you're using the web interface over a wireless connection, you will need to reconnect to the wireless under the new SSID after the changes have been saved.
