Most manufacturer's limit "Bridge" and "Client" modes to their own 
products, so you may need a device
made by the same company as the one your neighbor uses.

If the Asus has a "client" mode and will work with non-Asus equipment, 
it'll probably need the
MAC address for your neighbor's Access Point.

HTH.
