If DHCP is the culprit here, find out what IP addresses the router is handing out, then assign yourself a static IP address with appropriate netmask and gateway. To verify the RF link between yourself and the router, use the ping command to ping the router. Several times. If you either get requests timed out or no replies whatsoever, then there is an RF link problem between yourself and your neighbor. If you get replies from the router, then attempt to ping some host on the internet. If you get an unknown host error, then you have a DNS lookup problem and should change your resolver IP addresses. If you get replies from that remote site, then everything should be working fine and the problem would then seem to be beyond the scope of the network infrastructure.

Good starting points, at least.
