If you use the system info plugin and make a value for the RSSI signal strength you can create a rule that run once a minute or so and check and see what level you have. If signal is very weak or lost you perform a reboot or reconnect to wifi.

Pfft, solving things by buying better suitable hardware which also might solve other nuisances with WiFi, instead of trying to find a software patch to mask the symptoms.
That takes away a lot of the tweaking experience fun.
Before you know it, everybody will use these devices because they're so easy to use.
