I used to use userspace PPPoE before my line was upgraded from ADSL to
VDSL2. I could not use synchronous mode for the reasons that are well
documented on the interweb. So relatively high CPU load (which was fine
back then).

This is the main thing that I had to change to get things working
properly upon the upgrade to VDSL2 (initially 16 Mbit/s a couple of
years ago; the upgrade to 25 Mbit/s is much more recent): I switched
over to using kernel-mode PPPoE.

Typically the cause is the power supply. But not in my case; my problem
remained with several different power supplies, some significantly
bigger than the Soekris could ever need.

As I said I have now moved most of my wireless traffic off this box's
wireless interface and onto the Asus AP (which is still running the
proprietary firmware at the moment). My wife's company laptop is the
only machine that still uses the Soekris as an AP. She works from home a
lot (including video streaming etc), but it seems that if the wireless
machinery in our house isn't also pumping traffic at the same time the
box is much more stable.
