Consider changing your ISP for a more reliable one.

Power your router from a cheap time-switch that power cycles it at
3am whether it's needed or not.

That would work, but ideally I need to power cycle it as soon as it
stops working.

Ah, that seems easy - get a small computer (Raspberry Pi Zero) to ping
somewhere reliable like google.com, and if it fails for a few minutes
at a time it can operate a relay to interrupt power to the modem.


Thats if the bloody Pi stays up !...
