[Novalug] WiFi responsiveness

To my knowledge, nothing in my WiFi setup has changed,
neither configuration nor hardware, but something has
affected its responsiveness.  I'm looking for what to
explore to find the cause.

The situation where it is most noticable is:

Windows 7 laptop running putty as an ssh client
and Xming as an X-windows server connected to 
the LAN via WiFi.

Run a game like sudoku on the Linux host and
display the results back to the laptop.

Normally the response to mouse events (or keyboard
action) is excellent.  But periodically there will
be no updates for 3-7 mouse events (perhaps 5 seconds
total).  Things will be normal for a minute or three
and then another delay in update.

I see similar delays to keyboard events in a terminal
window, but MUCH less frequently, on the order of
once or twice an hour.

I've had this setup for several years and it has only
recently begun this behavior.

Ideas?

Jon
