I dont see how i would power cycle the ont. I can only unplug the battery back up, inside the house.

I suppose. Only thing would be to try the NG router at a different location, say friend, family or nieghbors place to see if the problem follows, it so, the router maybe bad and needs replacing. Only other item would be to test a different power supply with same volts and amps.

You can also try doing a hard reset, pressing the reset button with a paper clip for 30 seconds while its powered on. It will reset your router back to factory default. Maybe it just needs a reset, try it out and let us know what happens.

Just another thought. Since you Optical Network Terminal (ONT) has four output ethernet ports, have you tried to put your router in Access Point (AP) mode? After you configure into AP mode, restart your router and check for external connection to the internet.
Calix also makes an indoor version of the same ONT.
