The ssh issue is probably your router. I thought ssh was smarter about sending dummy keep alive data, but I have the same issue on my router at home. I started seeing the exact same thing with other protocols I was fiddling with, and adding protocol-specific keep alives prevents the connection from getting dropped.
For me, connections without some special keep-alive get dropped after 10 minutes of inactivity -- ssh has the exact same behavior as any other TCP connection. That's unfortunately not useful for solving the ssh problem (since you can't directly control the keep alives). Would be cool to maybe run a background process that sends dummy data periodically, something like that.
