This is a dhcp request going out, but the router never answers it.

So this is a dhcp problem, not a wifi connectivity issue.

Presumably either the router is mis-configured somehow, or dhcpleased is
sending a malformed request that it doesn't like.

You might get more useful information by running dhcpleased in verbose mode:

# rcctl stop dhcpleased
# dhcpleased -d -vv

Do you know what device 10.0.0.49 is?  These arp requests are never answered.
