Assuming your neighbor's don't have a password or anything on the router and its able to give a strong enough signal you shouldn't have any problem connecting to it.

Just understand that your signal may be enhanced slightly with that usb adapter, but it can only do so much with what its given. Meaning the main source of the signals power comes from the router.

You are talking about from my neighbors router giving out the shared signal right?
I dont need no router on my computer to increase the signal the signal increase comes from my usb adapter and any antenna i may use to enhance it right?
