I'm going to assume that your laptop is using a wired connection? If so and your laptop runs Windows or MacOS, you could use the Kobo desktop app to register your Kobo. You might be able to stay outside the neighbour's house and connect to his wifi depending on router location and signal strength.

Do you manage, while transfer via usb is available, to use Calibre and Alf to put books bought from Amazon onto a Libra 2?

The Kobo site does have a good selection of inexpensive or free books. You can use the download option from My Books to download them to your laptop, the DRM free ones will download with odd filenames (they look like a GUID) while DRM encumbered one will need ADE or calibre with the DeACSM plugin (likely, you would want to add the DeDRM plugin as well).
I have used transfer via USB a couple of times but at this time, I'm still using K4PC with the batch file to block KFX downloads. That solution may be an issue soon since the latest K4PC (1.35) breaks the batch file.
