Wireless network

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to ask this question, but here
goes.
I have had a wireless network in my home for several years. Now a second
security enabled wireless network has appeared. It shows a signal strength
of 2 out of 5 bars. I live in a rural location with only two neighbors
within a quarter of a mile. Neither of them have computers, much less
wireless networks. Is there any way I can find information about the new
network?

Take your laptop and start walking. The increasing/reducing number of bars
will soon tell you who's broadcasting, and from where.
