1. Change channels to 1, 6 or 11.
2. If your signal is weak, do something to make it stronger. I
suggest playing with antennas on your wireless router.
3. Redirect your signal AWAY from the neighbors direction.

4. Reposition your router so that there's a wall or obstruction
between you and the neighbor. Don't put it in a window. A slab of RF
absorbent material (carbon foam, wet towel, pile of junk) positioned
between you and the neighbors might help.
5. Discuss the matter with the neighbor and ask them to position
their wireless router in the same manner as #3.
6. If your client radios are dual band (2.4/5.7GHz), then buy an
802.11a (5.7GHz) access point and use it instead.
7. Give up and run CAT5 cables around the house.
