Most time the router reboots, something goes wrong. I just upgraded to latest firmware. And I had to go through the whole routine again:
turn off modem and router
unplug ethernet from router
boot modem, wait 5m
boot router, wait 5m
plug wan cable back
internet is up
I had openwrt on an older router before and never had this issue.
Something else:
Uhm, definitely more troubleshooting/diagnosing than "something goes wrong".
Do your local clients receive an IP address from the router after reboot?
If they do, can you access your router (SSH/WebUI) by IP?
If you can, what does it say for the WAN interface -- does it get an IP from your modem?
Do you get any errors resolving domains (nslookup google.com)?
My wifi and devices get an ip and I can login via ssh or web to the router no problem.

As I said, whenever I upgrade firmware, the packages like https-dns-proxy and sqm get uninstalled. I'd like to know how to prevent that.

I take it this is your http-dns-proxy ?
If your system is running the real issue is why you have to do steps 1 ~ 5 so often, and with such diligent scripted professionalism.
I would actually suggest you create a sperate thread targeting the "rolling your own" crowd.
Exactly! That's why I posted this, tired of having to go through it almost everytime.
yes. but it's not causing the issue since I can't even ping 1.1.1.1 when the issue occurs, no dns needed.

Part of the puzzle is that you should expect the router to take 1-10 minutes to bring up the 5GHz radio if you are in a DFS regulatory zone. My RT3200 in US DFS-FCC takes at least two minutes to do the radar scan and pick its ac/ax channel; I've seen reports of some scans taking quite a bit longer.

Wifi works fine. It's the WAN connection that is completely dead until I do the steps described in my OP.

Do you have to do those steps if you simply reboot your router or just when you upgrade it?

I'm testing this now on my system..
Worked great. Twice!
Try this on your known good working system. Until today, I had heard of it but not tested it. Worked three times doing the GUI steps.

Your router fails to obtain an IP address from your ISP/modem.
You can try running ifdown wan; ifup wan; to see if it helps.
