Without knowing what OS or computer you use, a basic recommendation is to check in your wi-fi settings and try to remove their network from your computer. Here are some possibilities:

Windows 8

Access Settings and then choose the Wireless icon.
Right-click on the network and choose Forget this Network.

Windows 7

Go to Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center
Choose Manage Wireless Networks from the options on the left.
Highlight the network from the list and choose Remove

Mac OS X (10.8)

Go to System Preferences > Network
Select Wifi on the left
Choose the wireless network from the list & then click on the Disconnect button.
Click on the Advanced button
Select the wireless network from the list and then click on the (-) button to remove it from the list.
Click on the Ok button
Click the Apply button in the Networks

I hope it helps.

Thanks,

Dmitriy
