It would be easier just to scan and see what channels are currently in use - presumably it's going to be only your neighbour and yourself for a total of 2 channels (1 if they are both broadcasting on the same channel as they seem to be). Now set your router to broadcast on a different channel instead. Job done - you don't need to mess around with triangulation or anything like that. Are you sure your neighbours haven't accidentally put their router into repeater mode or something stupid like that?
