     You don't clearly say what your problem/concern is, but I think it is   
   that your laptop connected to your neighbour's WiFi when you did not   
   want that, i.e. an unexpected/unwanted connection.   
      
     If so just set that connection, i.e. the SSID (Wi-Fi name) to not   
   connect automatically.   
      
     You've crossposted this to the Windows 10 and 11 groups and don't say   
   which version your laptop is using, but for Windows 11, just do:   
      
     Settings -> Network & internet -> WiFi -> '>' -> Manage known networks   
   -> select your neighbour's nettwork -> untick the 'Connect automatically   
   when in range' box.   
      
     That way, your laptop will never automatically connect to your   
   neighbour's WiFi, but you still can connect to it manually.   
      
     If you do no longer want to use your neighbour's WiFi at all, just do   
   a 'Forget' in the previous screen.   
      
     Hope this helps.
