Cannot refresh/release WAN IP - requires reboot

Before you beat me up on this topic being brought up before, in various forms; you're right. However, in my searching, I found ZERO resolutions outside of "rebooting" which is not what I'd want to do with an enterprise class option like OPNsense.
Internet Provider Context:
WAN - Cox Cable - Cable Modem (Private/bogon networks blocked and Reject leases from 192.168.100.1 set
WAN2 - T-Mobile Home Internet
PROBLEM
: After an outage or issue with the Cox Cable connection (WAN), OPNsense fails over to T-mobile (WAN2) pretty gracefully.
After diagnosing the issue with the primary WAN connection and bring it back up,
I'm unable to get a valid IP from the Cox Cable modem
.
ATTEMPTED STEPS TO RESOVLE
: If I go to INTERFACES: OVERVIEW, and select the WAN interface (wan, igb0) I do see both "Reload" and "Release" as options for DHCP.
If I attempt either, usually one of 2 things happens:
I can see the gateway assigned to the interface but i'm given no IP address or DNS servers
It hangs and is completely blank
I can do try these options for many times and the result is always the same.
The
ONLY thing that allows me to receive an IP again is rebooting OPNsense
. This tells me, given its inability to communicate properly to obtain a refreshed IP without rebooting is clearly an OS/Driver/OPNsense issue.
Anyone know why this could be?
