Easiest way to prevent people from using your wifi is to turn on security and put a password on it...
Use WPA2 in your wireless security settings.

just go in the router configuration page

look for the wireless section

if your friends have already been connected then change the password and ssid(network name)

dont use a simple password even wpa is breakable if you use something easy

make sure you have an ethernet connection while doing this as all wireless connections will be lost

next connect all your wireless devices--and tick any connect even if this network is not broadcasting its name boxes

then tick the hide/show/broadcast ssid/network to not broadcast

this will not stop some one whos good with linux finding out your network name

but should against the average windows user

use a white list then

look in the router config page for all connected devices--yours--their mac address should be listed

should also show your connected devices ip

then add them to the whitelist then it will block all other devices

again this wont stop some one whos very good with linux

but will stop most windows users

Before you go way down a path of disabling stuff you need to ask why bother. If you have your network properly protected you really don't care if someone can see your SSID broadcasts. Although you can make it appear your are hiding your network and things like mac filters make it appear you are safe it is all trivial protection like putting a bag over your head to avoid seeing bad stuff. WPA/WPA2 was invented to solve this issue so just use it, with a strong key password even the most determined hacker will not live long enough to be able to crack you network.
