Wow, I cannot think of a way to check the max number of connections on my router. I do not believe that Pi has such limitation…
Every unix-based machine has such a limitation on each user. It is normally called the maximum number of file descriptors.
So yes, it likely affects your router (which you can't change), and your relay (which you can).
Check the tor logs for messages about connection limits or file descriptor limits.
Look up instructions online for increasing the number of file descriptors per user on your OS and distribution.

My international connectivity is just fine, connection speed is stable at 1.5 mbps and I have a Stable flag. Three authorities voted to give me HSDir and Fast. I have provided my Torrc. My consensus weight is stable for several days now, at 14.
Speed tests don't test the things tor needs.
The 5 tor bandwidth authorities say your relay can't handle much bandwidth. They say it can sustain around 14KB/s when they check.
This might mean your Pi or your broadband router is overwhelmed with too many connections. Do you know what the maximum connection capacity is on your router and your relay? Can you increase it to at least 8000?
Or it could be that your latency to Europe and North America is high. (Relays in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand have similar issues.)
