hacker(s) to hack into laptops and desktops.
This particular network is suspect because unlike other networks like Zyxel , Draknet which
are on for some time only, this network is always on.
How do you trace the owner of a Wifi network?

Most wireless routers are designed to be left on 24/7, and most providers suggest they stay on 24/7 anyway. So that doesn't prove anything.
Realistically, as horrible as it sounds, the fact the network in question is, you believe, being used for suspect activities is the problem of who owns it. If used for really suspect activities such as child pornography for example without the knowledge of the wi-fi network owner, they'll soon become aware of an issue when the local constabularly comes knocking on the door.
Unfortunately some people "like" their wireless network unsecure. That's up to them. This is one of those issues where your concern is well-meaning but it's ultimately not your problem. If you can prove the network is used for purposes that may be of interest to the local police, report it to them. Otherwise, let it be.
