If your network adapter supports it, replace the antenna with one that gives several dB gain

If your goal is to share your neighbors Internet access through his wireless router with his permission, then you will have to spend a few dollars, it will still be cheaper than getting your own Internet access.
Depending on your neighbor's router brand and model, buy a better external antenna and have your neighbor install it on the router. There are many models on sale for $29 for brands like Linksys.
Get a better antenna for your PC, even mount it on the outside of your house through a window on your neighbors side of your house.
You could also get a wireless repeater and mount that in your house close to the neighbors side.
Finally if you don't want to spend any money, have your neighbor move the router closer to your side of his house so you get a better signal.

Make the antenna larger and closer. Maybe hook 2 antennas in parallel. Have your neighbor move his box closer to your house. Try some metal behind your reciever as a reflector. Minimize the stuff inbetween, like walls and trees. Maybe you could run a wire to your house.

because all the smells intertwine when they cook and smell good. it's not hard to make food smell good. it's harder to make food taste good. my neighbors are full chinese i believe doubt they came from America but their house is a total pig sty. theirs crap they bring home from work all over their front yard and back yard and it's all broken things like tables, fridge, washing machines,etc.. but from time to time when they are cooking it smells really good. but i highly doubt it tastes that good. why? just walk infront of their door step and you will understand why theirs craps everywhere including dead plants/animals decaying like fish. Im sure they don't shop at a real grocery store either but the local china town and everyone in my state knows the china town isn;t very good for groceries as it's been known to carry rats and it isn't even that tasty. that being said don't let the smells fool you.

If you're using mac, you could try an airporter, or a device called a wireless bridge. You can get those from Best Buy. Here's more information on them:

Get a repeater and place it carefully between you and the router. Maybe halfway. If thats outside, hide it well!

You have a repeater?? It can extend the coverage area by boosting the signal..

The answer is all in the antenna. There are higher gain antennas you can buy or build to make this work.

All you need is a Wireless Range Extender. you can buy it anywhere but I recommend buying the same brand as the wireless router.
