Correct MTU for Freedom Internet (NL)

I bet you simply run out of CPU cycles... you could try one of the NSS builds and try to off-load the PPPoE handling to the NSS cores, but realistically at 1 Gbps you should get a router with a CPU that can handle the data independent of off-loads.

I did a quick and dirty test with htop and CPU 0 reaches max 98.6% on download and 100% on upload while running the test, so it could be that. What are the NSS builds? I guess you mean these: Ipq806x NSS build (Netgear R7800 / TP-Link C2600 / Linksys EA8500)

But they don't mention that PPPoE is off-loaded to NSS cores? (only NAT)

@frollic

install and run htop on your 7800, check the CPU load while in use.

Already did, see above

@frollic

do they actually claim it, or do they just say it's a "gigabit router" ?

They do and ISP confirmed that it should reach gigabit (although he wasn't an OpenWRT expert, but the hardware alone is listed as compliant in their list)
