Are you certain it's your neighbours network? Sky Q boxes usually show the name of their internal mesh network (something like SKY13579) and people often assume it must be their neighbours network, but it's not.

Can you connect via Ethernet?

 

As a non-Sky broadband it will only connect on 2.4GHz.  Try changing the channel to avoid interferring with the neighbours.  (Or they change theirs)

Not sure how you conclude that.  The routers are sharing the same spectrum.

 

Try changing the 2.4G channel.
