Securing a router

You should configure your router to only accept your MAC addresses.

Of course, your neighbor might possibly already know the MAC addresses for your equipment (since they've snooped your network) and be able to pretend to be one of your computers, but it's worth a shot, and simple to do.

You need to get a new router and use WPA.

Either that, or visit their house with a baseball bat.
