All that seems to suggest that the Fonera is doing something wrong.
However, this sounds like a tricky problem to debug...

Hmm, how are you pining the TP-LINK? AFAICS there is no IP connection
between the modem and the Fonera, only a PPPOE connection between (I
think) the Fonera and the gateway?


The first thing that comes to mind is that somehow there is a
performance problem that causes some process to hog up the CPU, causing
the Fonera to drop packets. You could try running the "top" command
(terminate with ctrl-C) on your Fonera (through SSH) when the connection
is breaking, to see if that shows anything?
