Electrical outage causes WAN in bridge mode to drop

gdarends

Hi,

I have an ARRIS cable modem/router that I set in bridge mode and this works fine.
But everytime there is an electrical outage it loses connection and I normally do a hard reset of the modem and re-enable bridge mode and then it starts to work again. It doesn't always work though. I sometimes do a couple of resets of pfsense and the modem and then it pops back up. But today it's not working. On the dashboard it says:

WAN_DHCP 
181.xx.xx.1	0.0ms	0.0ms	100%	Offline, Packetloss

Here is some log that I collected:
