what are some ways to boost a wifi signal without connecting things directly to modem?

[Geek Squad]

You'll want to get a range extender. Something like the Apple AirPort Express Base Station or a Netgear WN3000RP would allow you to extend the range of your neighbor's network and allow better connectivity for you - it will require some setting up and you'll want to verify the security settings, but I've had a ton of good luck using these to extend networks in large homes, out to pool houses, to garages, etc. There are a ton of different models available, the ones I suggested are a couple that have worked well for me. Hope that helps!
