Can we access their routers?

Yes. If they have an access point close enough to your adapter, it will pick up the signal. However, most are protected with a password. If it isn't, it is an unsafe and open network. If your neighbors' signal has no password, tell them immediately. If you don't have a password for your network set one up ASAP. Most of the time, because of object interference and distance the signal will not be strong.

If you don't know how to set a password or put up a firewall to protect yourself, call the company that makes your router. It's very simple. If you're worried about that signal transferring over too far there are dual band routers that have 2 channels (2.4 ghz and 5.0 ghz) 2.4 travels farther, the farther it goes the weaker the signal. 5.0 is best for streaming videos and other content in the same room at close range. So if you can stay within a close distance of that 5.0 signal, you'd get a fast signal that will less likely travel to your neighbors' house. Turn off the 2.4 ghz signal and leave on the 5.0.
