All I want is the next door but one neighbours to have access to my
wifi. And there is a good reason for this.


With another house between you I doubt that a simple "extender" will
work. An extender needs to be able to "see" your WiFi AP, which might
be hard with a WiFi socket stuffed into the bottom of a wall.
Extenders also half the throughput.

Is there any line of sight path between the two properties? There are
some cheaper TP-Link kits on Broadband Buyer. Finding a couple of
cheap APs with a detachable aerial and abilty to work in bridge mode
is an option but then you need to buy external aerials...
