Just make sure his router has a SID different from his neighbor's and
instruct his laptop to connect to that SID rather than "ANY".

|Hi, 
|       I have a user who uses a wireless network at home. He 
|just asked me
|(it's a director) to find a way to avoid his laptop (Toshiba 
|tecra running
|XP Pro) connecting on the neighbor's router instead of his. He 
|has a D-Link
|614+, I don't know this model at all so I'm asking you guys if 
|you know a
|way to restrict his laptop to only HIS router.
|
|As you can see, I'm not very familiar with Wireless :/
|
|Thanks for any inputs
