pfSense won't get new IP on wan unless rebooted

If I restart my cable modem my pfSense box starts freaking out the wan interface will start to switch between n/a, and 0.0.0.0. The only way to fix this is to power off everything then start the cable modem then pfSense. Is there a way to do this without rebooting? I want to be able to turn on pfSense without having to start the modern first.

I have this problem as well, I put it down to the new connection but it could just be a bug in the current version of pfsense.

Anyway it’s not a solution but if you go to status>interfaces you can release and renew the ip for the wan interface which will get it connected without having to restart.

I’ve had this issue for awhile even when using older pfsense versions. Release/renewing doest work it usually goes to 0.0.0.0 or n/a
