Indeed. Aber's neighbor seems to think she's entitled to use the
connection. That's rude.
There might be other options though. I heard a friend mention that he
had some router setting that allowed him to not broadcast the SSID. I
wasn't too interested at the time so I didn't ask what brand of
router he was using. But this capability would be a clean solution to
the nosey neighbor and still allow Amber to use her own wireless
systems, which she ought to be able to do.
Masking the SSID might be the only way to solve the intrusion without
making everyone uncomfortable.
There are also some directional antenna setups that limit
transmission in one axis to amplify it in another. But why she should
have to spend money to solve this rudeness is beyond me.
Hard to live with a neighbor like that though.

Amber,
Sounds like you should return the "favor" with a visit to your
neighbor (along with a member of the local law enforcement community)
to explain your position and let her "try out" her implied strong arm
tactic (regarding her brother dealing with you) on your new found
friend.
I would not put up with crap like that, and would make it clear that
she and her brother understood that. Plus, it gives you a documented
record in case he does hack into your network illegally.

My neighbour was back at my door this AM asking again (third time
this past week) for access and the WEP password. She was
extremely ticked off when I informed that I was still not
interested or comfortable with giving her access, then said her
brother was going to be coming by to deal with me later.
