Question about my wireless internet?

I have a linksys wireless router and my neighbors have been using it so i set a password. The next day, the password is gone. Leading to slow internet due to the face my neighbors have access. It seems to happen when i sign into xbox live. I don't see how this happens or if there is a way to stop it, but i was wondering if anyone else has the same problem? It's a WPA personal btw. with the TKIP (or whatever it is)

    the password does not just disappear unless they have physical access to it or are an elite black hat hacker.

    assuming it's the first did you tell everyone int he house the password so they wouldn't just reset it since they didn't know it?

    worst comes to worst just change the ssid and then disable broadcasting of it

    If you power down (turn off) some routers, they lose their settings!. Try leaving it plugged into the mains and left on. Also, WPA2 is safer :)
