Many TVs require 20 or so feet to the router.

You may have to use the laptop as your feed then connect the laptop to the HDTV via HDMI to get the content.

LOL, it's probably not a good idea publically promote you and your neighbor are sharing a single connection, that's generally frowned upon by ISPs. Either way, the signal may not be strong enough to connect your television. You also need to add some more details to your post. Can you see the network you're trying to connect to? What error, if any, are you getting when you try to connect? I won't ask if your neighbor knows you're connected to their network, but this problem may be as simple as resetting the router, so I hope that doesn't put you in an awkward position.
