If you have a good relationship with your neighbor, you might ask them to try reducing the transmit powerTransmit Power.jpg of the extender's signal.  At least, they could reduce it in steps to see at which what level your devices don't connect, but theirs do where they need it.  This can be done in the extender's SETTINGS.

The neighbor gave me the password to the extender and I turned down the power but our phones are still connected to it. I verified to make sure its there extender and it is. User guide says you can make it a closed network but you can't and verizon engineers is no help over the phone. We can't do anything because when we make a phone call , we are right at the line where it continuously connects and disconnects to it. This is like tech trespassing! Haha its crazy how you can't make it a closed network.  Why spend over $100 a month when we can't even use our phones. I've filed a complaint when FCC and a email is heading towards headquarters.  Maybe they will have better luck getting this fixed than I have had.

How far did you turn down the power?  Did you do a reboot on the extender after turning down the power?

What if you turn it down to the minimum for a test, 10%?  And a reset/reboot?
