WAN reconnection after Internet loss or power loss

I have an ER605 installed for a customer. It was just purchased and setup a few weeks ago. I updated to the latest available firmware at the time. The problem I am experiencing is that after an Internet outage, power outage, or a reboot of the device, it does not establish a connection via the WAN right away. The connection is a static IP address via a cable company using their cable modem.
The solution is to unplug the network cable for WAN port and wait a few seconds and plug it back in. This should not be necessary to re-establish the connection. I have not had to do this for any other routers. Is there a setting I missed or a firmware problem that would cause this? Any why does physically rebooting the router not fix this? If I leave it long enough it will eventually re-establish a connection but this is supposed to be an always on connection.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
