We have a lot of PPPOE over mikrotik wireless AP's.
That error message is basically telling you that the pppoe connection is unsustainable due to network loss. For me half the time it's noise the other half the time it is weak signal/trees.
While pppoe is in session id be willing to bet that if you ping the pppoe user, you will have erratic loss with larger packet sizes.
Its a loosing battle in areas with a lot of homes as far as noise goes. If i had to re-do our unlicensed band towers, id be running a 433AH with 1XR2, 1 XR5, and a 900MHZ card pointing the same way. Hopefully when you run into a problem spot you can get a steady connection on one those three. wireless cams for security systems can make a 900mhz black hole for miles. routers/phones/other gadgets make 2.4 unreliable, and 5ghz has no penetration or range.
We are giving up on unlicensed and getting on board with Moto 3.65 Wimax gear with a Mikrotik as the NAT.
