Did AT&T push a firmware update that wiped out subnets?
I had a subnet on my AT&T router (3rd octet was zero, not "1"). Today, my repeaters aren't working and wont reconnect even if I place them within 3 feet of the AT&T router. I looked at the configuration, and I have no subnets now. Did AT&T push a firmware update that wiped out subnets?

We're here to assist with your gateway subnets, @marc9889!
If you haven't already go ahead and perform a reboot of your equipment. Doing this can usually resolve a host of concerns, such as the one you are experiencing.
Here are the steps to take:
If that doesn't work, go ahead and perform a factory reset of your gateway. This will clear any settings that could be causing the error to occur.
You can perform this with these steps:
Heads up: Be sure to jot down your custom settings, like your static IP address if you have one, or your Wi-Fi® network name (SSID). You can then change them back after the factory reset.
let us know if this resolves your cocnern! If not, we can perofmr some more troubleshooting to see what is the root cause of this.

Let me try again.
I have an Arris gateway. After it was installed, I set up a subnet, and had several devices connected to that subnet. Those devices stopped working. Looking at the configuration of the Arris now, there are no subnets. To restate the question, did AT&T push a firmware update that would have removed existing subnets on my Arris gateway?

Hi there, marc9889. We understand that your networking subnets are missing from the router. Let's look at that together.
There was an update that was done to improve the Wi-Fi of the router a few weeks ago. However, this update was to improve the Wi-Fi functionality of the router.
Since subnetting is a customized setting, unless the router itself was factory reset somehow, your subnets should be still there.
Have you attempted to re-enter in your customized configuration again? If not, please attempt to do so and let us know if your subnets are back up and working again.
