"Bittorrent works by opening up many concurrent connections and quite a few routers (especially older ones) have problems trying to keep up with all the requests.

You can try on the laptop to limit the total amount of concurrent connections, apart from that, replacing the router will be your best bet."

Check if there's a firmware update for your router, sometimes vendors release patches to fix these issues.
