Topology == layout. What's connected to what and how.
Tough to say what's wrong. I don't know anything besides you're on a shared connection, you're using p2p, and the p2p box has more connection problems.
Power cycle the modem by switching it off then back on, or just pull the power cord. Leave it off for 5+ seconds. If you have separate modem and router, do it to both of them.
The problem may be only on the p2p box, but I assume you've tried rebooting? It also sounded as if you sometimes have shades of the problem on the other system.
My consumer-router remark was a broad generalization about the nature of poorly developed protocol stacks. They work on paper, and with a limited amount of traffic, but wail on them with p2p and the number of connections eventually causes problems with leaks, race conditions, or whatever. The symptoms vary and can be limited to a subset of the systems connected to them. Anyway, there are usually workarounds. If kicking the router helps then you can start down that path.
