    I assume it's a rogue SSID/AP from one of your neighbors. If you have a decent WiFi AP of your own, it might support WIPS feature, like FortiAP, that would disconnect clients' association to the rogue SSID/AP. 

    Note: Depending on your country/region, this feature may be prohibited by law.

    you can solve this two ways:

    1) disable by using group policy the ability to enable tethering (hotspot), either per computer or in AD domain.

     

    3) enable captive portal; this will enforce login, no login = no internet.
