This seems to set the PPPoE "redial" or retry interval after the WAN connection is discovered to be down by the router. You can see it in the logs. It doesn't seem to reduce the amount of time it takes for the router to see that the WAN is down.

The only other parameters I can suggest adjusting are the non-volatile ram variables "ppp_idletime" and "pppoe_idletime". You can telnet to the router and use the commands nvram get ppp_idletime nvram get pppoe_idletime to examine the current defaults (in my router they're both set to 5 pings). One source (»forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=2298) suggests reducing the value of ppp_idletime to "1" while leaving pppoe_idletime unchanged. I'd try nvram set ppp_idletime=1 to see if that clears the problem up. Good luck. [edit] You must restart pppoe / ppp before the nvram parameters are read and go into effect.
