Possibly your router's wireless side has died. My 3com one did that - 
couple of years of working fine, then suddenly it started getting 
flakier and flakier. I could connect fine, but any load - eg trying to 
download a file - and the connection would be lost. You could try 
turning off the other wirelss laptop, see if that helps.

Also possibly - you've started getting interference in the location of 
the laptop thqat has issues. Could be a neighbour on the same or 
adjacent channel, cordless phone, microwave, or any other source of 
microwave radiation.
