Unite Explore 815S DHCP not working

Yes.
So it's been more than a month and a bunch of resets and still no DHCP coming from my Unite Explore. Static IP's set on my clients work fine through the Unite Explore, but it seems like the DHCP daemon on the device is not working. When I click on Wi-Fi then Devices and then the MAC address of my client device it states 0.0.0.0 for the IP address. I used a DCHPtest tool and there is no response from my Unite Explore for DHCP requests....

I received an update last Friday from AT&T that fixed this issue. My firmware went from NTG9X40C_11.14.08.11 (2016/09/01) to NTG9X40C_11.14.08.28 (2017/08/24).
