Home Internet Gateway Needs Reboot Multiple Times Daily, Internet Access Dropping

I have the 1609 firmware. Many of the times where I've had the issue, my connection quality was three bars, and even with two bars, I still often get 500 Mbps download speeds. Also the disconnections have happened at all times of the day and night. In every single case, rebooting the gateway immediately fixes the problem. I thought about building a device that briefly cycles power to an outlet when it can't reach a certain URL, then waits three or four minutes before it checks again, but I'm not sure if it's worth the investment in time and it would not completely solve the problems caused by a dropped internet connection.
