My guess is there is a second WiFi network someplace. WEP password should be enough.
But yes, whitelisting all you MAC address would be "bomb proof" on that network. If there is another network it will not help. People install all kinds o backdoors without knowing it with things like IP cameras, printers, and whatnot. But today not having WiFi is not even practical for most people. My fitness watch and bathroom scales and iPads don't have Ethernet jacks and it's hard to run wires to the TV sets and so on. I'd guess some device has an access point or more likely ad-hoc WiFi and it's "routing". No one is hacking a WEP WiFi.
