Need help with creating a rule to reboot C8 based on lost of internet povider

I just found this:

Using Ping in RM to toggle an outlet

This is a bit tricky to figure out, but the 2.2.9.137 release notes have the clue you'll need: Rule 5.1: Added Ping action. This pings an IP address 3 times, and returns a string with the results. The string is in %text%. It also places the packetLoss value in %value% (100 means no response). So, the easiest thing to do is probably something like: [Rule 5.1 with Ping, Set pingValue to %value% as integer, IF (pingValue = 100) THEN do stuff END-IF] (Be sure to create a local or hub variable;…

You would use a schedule as a trigger and then the actions as Robert details. IF the local variable = 100 (no response) then Reboot on Hub Information Driver. My example (untested):

There I'm pinging 192.168.4.100 (My ISP Virgin Media's Primary DNS). It's not obvious where to find a few things in RM:

You can find ping under Action > 'Send message, Notify, Speak, Log, Http Request. To access the reboot command you'll run Custom Action > Actuator then pick your Hub Info Driver and to see the available commands.
