Ok, and what do I need to do to accomplish one or both of those things? I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to this sort of thing.

Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions. (doesn't always work well with that att gateway)
2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.

It might have worked fine because it might have been in passthrough mode or att might have updated something with it.
