Home setup: Dual Boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu/xfce, with Ubuntu being the default boot option after 60 seconds. TP-Link Router & Arris SB6141 Modem, Comcast Internet connection.

I'm on vacation far from home for a week, before I went I decided to set up ssh and AnyDesk on my desktop so I could do some remote coding (what's a good vacation without work? ). After a bit of trial and error, got them running just fine on both my iPhone (Shelly) and my Windows 10 laptop (PuTTY), and the AnyDesk client on both.
Well it's two days into my vacation and after a few successful sessions, all the connections have decided to drop entirely. PuTTY gives a 'connection timed out' error, Shelly gives a 'Network is unreachable' error when I use the port I set it up on (any other ports it just stalls out on), and AnyDesk tells me 'The desk is not available'.
My modem is still running (xFinity app shows it working and I can ping my IP address), and I don't think my IP changed since Shelly gives different responses with the right and wrong port numbers. I asked my neighbor and she said the computer is still on, though she couldn't tell what it was doing, and I very highly doubt a power outage occurred (never had any issues with the PC randomly rebooting/shutting down either...though I can't rule it out obviously.)
So the questions...
1) What are the most likely causes?
2) Is there any way I can at least check if the PC is running?
3) Do I have any method of re-connecting?
4) Can I minimize the chances of this happening next vacation?

Thank you all very much in advance
