RBR50v2_ Loses Internet connection

Hi,

I need help. I have over 3 months having problems with my new router. It loses internet connection several times in a day and the only way to get the service back  is un-pluging the Modem. My modem is from Frontier communications.They have changed their modem 3 times and the problem persists. They confirmed the problem is not from their side. If I un-plug the router instead of the modem the service never is restablished. I always have to un-plug the modem to get the service again. Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks!

        Has the ONT and RBR been powered OFF for 1 minute then back ON? 

        Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?
