    Wireless interference would be my first guess as to there being a drop in throughput.

    i'd go with wireless being the culpret as well.

    Have an new networks appeared in your area recently?

    What channel if your router set to? the best ones to go for are 1, 6 and 11 and they dont overlap. I find 1 and 11 to be better than 6 as it is often the default so you get lots of other devics flooding that part of the spectrum.

    yeah..like most others said I guess wireless adapter is the culprit..Maybe you can try using a different adapter or reduce the gap between the two computers..
