At 2mW, reduced from the default 28mW, the high gain antenna needs an extra 11-12dB of gain over the antenna originally used to pick up your signal. This is quite achievable. It would come as no surprise to find that your neighbours are leaving a machine running 24/7 to try and crack back into your network, make your PSK as long and random as it can possibly be. If they've been using it for a while it will be inconvenient for them not to have access to their email etc. as their email accounts will be set up to use your I.P. address. Could you move the router to the far side of the house away from the side that faces your neighbour? Stick a sheet of tin-foil on the wall facing them? Foil lined curtains?
How essential is it for you to use the wireless facility?
