Well guys to be honest I'm not sure that Qos is to blame for dropping the pppoe connection I believe that this has nothing to do with the Qos.

Yesterday i tested the LEDE firmware for my WRT1900ac with the new parameters for the LCP echo threshhold (i set it to 500) and tested it for a few hours with gaming + open stream at the same time.
The result was absolutely no disconnects! HOWEVER my online game was much less responsive and I had 1-5 second long lags and rubber banding while sqm with cake was doing the qos.
After this test i switched back to the stock Linksys FW and ran the same test again with an overloaded network and had a much more fluent gaming experience with absolutely no lags, hiccups etc.

So my conclusion can only be that the LEDE FW is much less forgiving than the Linksys when it comes to coping with a mediocre pppoe line.
Ofc the LEDE can be probably tweaked so it will perform better but i lack the knowledge to do that.

Bottom line the stock FW does its job well however it only supports qos on downstream (Linksys removed upstream qos a few FW releases ago go figure....) so as soon as someone uploads anything in the network my ping goes to hell....
