I had a similar problem a few years ago, and I, <ahem>, figured it
would be easier/better to change the neighbor's configuration, so I
waited for an opportunity where I was the only wireless client
attached and the time of day made it less likely that I was disrupting
any legitimate traffic, and I changed the channel they were on so it
wouldn't conflict with mine. Problem solved, but of course that plan
of action carries potentially significant baggage, so consider
carefully before executing. Probably not recommended.
Having said that, when you change the channel on the AP, you don't
have to make any configuration changes on the clients. They should be
able to (manually) reconnect without any drama.
Almost forgot, if you're set on finding the offending AP, maybe you
can fire up a laptop and walk around, doing sort of a site survey,
until you stumble on it.
