I have never had this problem,, however my Raspberry Pi's are turned on 
all the time. They use very little power so there is no need to turn 
them off. I do have a script that reboots them once a week, but the 
network always comes up successfully. How do you reboot? Is it a power 
off or just a reboot?

The network adaptors are no longer called eth0. You can see the name by 
running ifconfig. Mine for example is called enxb827ebf4eef2.
