Home Hub 5A and OpenWrt 18.06.1, r7258-5eb055306f
Hi,
I seem to be having a related problem. However it is only really noticeable when I am downloading big files (1GB+). Thus I have problems with downloading distros (1 - 3 GB) and my satnav maps (6GB). The connection drops and the download stops.
I have tried the suggested fix and it does not work for me:
/etc/config/network:
option keepalive '1'
ps www | grep ppp
4097 root 1196 S /usr/sbin/pppd nodetach ipparam wan ifname pppoa-wan lcp-echo-interval 5 lcp-echo-failure 1 lcp-echo-adaptive +ipv6 set AUTOIPV6=1 nodefaultroute usepeerdns maxfail 1 user xxxx password xxxx ip-up-script /lib/netifd/ppp-up ipv6-up-script /lib/netifd/ppp6-up ip-down-script /lib/netifd/ppp-down ipv6-down-script /lib/netifd/ppp-down plugin pppoatm.so 0.0.38 vc-encaps
syslog:

The only thing that seems to work for me is this QoS idea https://bugs.openwrt.org/index.php?do=d ... sk_id=1259.
Looking at the speeds using a real-time tool on my PC, I suspect the problem was the download link being too busy rather than the upload link as suggested the link above.
It seems to me that having to manually set up this speed limit in order to enable the HH5/OpenWRT to do something relatively normal (i.e. download a large file) is something that should not be required. My previous (off-the-shelf) modem/router does not have such an issue. Should the LCP handshake issue ought to be considered a bug?
