   If that approach doesn't work out, or gets more expensive than you'd   
   like, you could also consider:   
      
   * have the neighbor buy a repeater / access point for wireless coverage   
     on their property; then you only need a good signal between it and   
     your stuff, rather than between all their devices and your stuff;   
      
   or maybe use cable for the property-to-property part:   
      
   * Places like Monoprice.com have good prices on Cat 5e, 6, 6a,   
     etc. cables:   
     . "direct burial" Cat 5e bulk cable ($50-$100 for 1000ft)   
     . pre-made 100ft Cat 5e cables ($18 each, *2)   
      
   * Lowe's (possibly in stock) has a box of 500ft Cat 5e indoor/outdoor   
     bulk cable for $68.   
      
   Then, as before, have the neighbor buy their own wireless router or   
   access point.  :)
