To link your wired network to your neighbour's wireless, you will need to connect a Wireless Bridge to your network and associate it with their wireless access point - or do something less ideal like drill a hole in the wall and connect a network cable to their equipment, if they have any spare data ports - even then, this idea is only really possible if you live right next door with only an internal wall between the two of you.

There's a few other ways it can be done, but a wireless bridge is probably the simplest - any decent computer supplier will stock these.

what bridge you recommends? neatgear, linksys, do you know price? – user69515 Feb 28 '11 at 13:12
Most of the consumer-grade wireless bridges behave in very similar ways and so prices are close too. The main difference will be whether you want a bridge with a single data port (to connect to your network), or multiple ports, a built in print server etc. I would see what your favourite supplier has in stock. – Linker3000 Feb 28 '11 at 13:34

You need a wireless bridge or a wireless gaming adapter, which is a device that connects to a wireless network and provides one or more wired Ethernet ports. These devices are often used to connect gaming consoles and other devices to a wireless network when the devices themselves don't have wi-fi connectivity, hence they are sometimes called gaming adapters.
