      Running 2.3.1-RELEASE-p5 on a Qotom box with two realtek NICs. The WAN port is connected to a fiber optic ONT and the WAN interface is configured to get an ip via DHCP.

      When the router reboots, it does not get an IP. This is problematic as it requires me to have access to the LAN to get it back up. If I run through the assign interfaces wizard via the command line, it gets one from the upstream dhcp server without any issues.

      This feels like it's some odd config issue but I can't seem to find anything documented or in searching previous threads. Anyone have an idea or suggestion on how to troubleshoot?
