Are you sure it is really 1492 ? It is set in wan_mtu.

yes i'm shure about my adsl provider mtu

i tryed to change ppp_mtu to 1500 but pppoe tells me that it isn't a good idea
i set wan_mtu to 1500 but nothing changes

"Couldn't increase MRU to 1500" is just a warning that ppp could not increase the MTU to 1500 - it can't, because PPPoE uses 1492 (or s.th. else).
Just set your MTU to 1492 and ignore the warning.
(ppp_mtu=1492 see the OpenWRT FAQ -> PPPoE )

See "ifconfig ppp0" for your ppp0 MTU
(Do not change the MTU for "real" WAN Port, leave it at 1500)

The discussion might have continued from here.
