I have an RBR850 with goggle fiber plugged directly into the modem. And mine started doing this out of the blue as well, i will loose internet and will have to unplug and replug the router back in. The google fiber jack is showing a blue light the whole time.

I'm having the same problem. Has anyone got this working?
