Router drops internet connection - can it be set up to reboot after n-time?

Actually the model is D7800 (not available in dropdown, which only accepts "R" prefix but is the same bit of kit). Drivers all up to date. Apart from this question, the router is behaving very well. I rely on IP cameras for home security but find myself unable to view the cameras if the Router has dropped the internet connection. I subscribe to Fibre to the Cabinet - 38Mbs. Is there any way that I can set up the router to reboot after a specified period of time with a lost internet connection? I assume there is no way to "wake up" the router remotely if the internet connection is lost? I am on a fairly antiquated/unreliable wired connection from an overhead telegraph pole to the BT box in the house. Is the only option to supply power to the router through a digital plug timer (e.g.) SMJ GHOMA Wi-Fi Plug or TP-Link HS100 Wi-Fi Smart Plug?

We do not have a feature that sets up a timer for the device to reboot.
