rt-n66u 380.59 wan reconnect problem

[sp5it]

Hello.
I have problem with automatic WAN reconnect after power loss. WAN is set to DHCP.
I use rt-n66u, Merlin 380.59 and Cisco EPC3208.
Every time I have power loss, modem and router is restarting, but router always start with "WAN disconnect" status.
I have to go through quick setup every time to set connection.
It happens with earlier editions of Merlin firmware too.

What can I do to get WAN connected without any user action?
Best regards, Mike

You might want to try John's fork of Merlin. Others have had this issue and his fork supposedly resolves it. I never had the issue with my n66u so can't say for sure.
