So I contacted the the ISP provider and they confirmed me that I was hacked by WiFi although I’m not sure how since the SSID was hidden. 

Hiding an SSID is NOT a security feature.  It just keeps the casual person from seeing your network easily.  Clients still need to know the SSID and that information is passed in the clear over the air.  So anyone sniffing for WiFi can easily see your SSID even though it is hidden.

I seriously doubt that a hacker in China was connecting via your WiFi.

Make sure your using, at least, WPA2 with a very good and complex key.  Disable uPNP and Bonjour and reboot it.  If your using a Ubiquity router make sure you disable Ubi Discovery.

Os2Sam,  I wanted to ask you.  How can I check my network for the level of security?  What type of software do I need to load up to be able to try to hack my own network even when the SSID is hidden?  I thought that it makes it pretty safe when I hide the SSID Huh

What other modern safety measures people take these days to protect their network?  Thanks!

You can download wireshark to scan your network traffic.  WPA/2/3 with, a good, high entropy key is important for wifi.  uPNP and Bonjour allow apps in your network to open ports in your router, whether its wired or wifi, and gives you NO notification that that was done.

Also you can check TCP hardness of your router by using ShieldsUp at grc.com and scanning "All Service Ports" and verifying that all ports are at least closed at best stealthed.

Thanks for the information Sam!  I will check all of the software that you’ve recommended to me although i barely ever use my laptop and am always on my ipad so Is there any easier way to protect the network like some of those $200 plug and play devices on Amazon such as this one:

Would it do any good to help me get more secured?

Thanks!

You would need to replace your existing router with that for it to help.

Well you see, I have an optical Huawei Modem and it is a Router all in one.  So you think if I connect this device between my modem and the miners I will be safer?

Thanks!

Because I cannot replace the modem which the ISP provided me.  All I can do is to bash this one against the wall and tell them ip that it broke by accident and they will bring me a new one for free, that way I will have a new MAC address on i it if that would help.
