you have only a wifi connection? - i mean don't you have a lan wired connection? -becouse if you have then you will make better to download and setup your router thru a wired connection.

If the hackers connect whith your device whith the wi fi connection means that are closed to you on the range that cover your net-let's say 100 mt ?

If you follow the instruction that we send -i say we becose it now was only me -you don't need to change the mac address- the hackers has access on your wi-fi connection and means that use a remote access- practicaly they hack only your connection and is not on your system whith a rat or keylogger tools, you can easly bind if you close the telnet and on the router make what the LoneDevil says.Let's say that the hackers that you meet are kidding - they don't have access anymore -i also suggest if you install a antivirus to make a scan to all the file stored on your usb drive stick.Anyway changing the mac address here you can find some thread about how to do'it - but now i think is inussfull if you have made'it to secure your network.

Thanks Diana32 for the password tips. Do you know if there is a way to collect evidence and bring these malicious hackers to justice?

It's not enough information. What were they able to do (this can help identifying where the hole is)? Some information about the OS? Are you using antimalware software? Are you sure Windows firewall is correctly running (in versions older than XP it is not even running by default)? If your wi-fi password is weak, it is easy for hackers in the whereabouts to crack it. The local wi-fi break-in is the most likely possibility to me, as you said you reinstalled all your operating systems, it's almost sure that it's not cause of a backdoor.
The most important things I need to know are:
- your OSes;
- your wi-fi password protection (I don't need your password, just your password protection algorithm (e.g: WEP));
- your antivirus/firewall software status.
My current ipothesis: you have a weak WPA2 password and a friendly neighbourhood hacker managed an horizontal privilege escalation through your network.
