All STATIC DHCP Assignments wiped out

Out of the clear blue sky, my Verizon Fios Router (the new Gateway G1100) suddenly had none of my static DHCP Assignments.  They all vanished!  I have no idea how, but on January 3rd, I had a fully functioning router with everything set the way I want, and I had a backup of the settings.

Today, I'm trying to remote in to some PCs on my lan and their not responding.  Well of course they're not, they have new IP addresses assigned dynamically because my entire address reservation entries were gone!

What the hell?  Best guess I have is VERIZON pushed a firmware update that screwed me and never told me.  The fact they can push updates at their whim kills me!  I'm stable, don't push me jack S%$#.  Don't fix what isn't broken.  Notify me, let me opt in!!!!

I'm so hating my switch to verizon!

Has anyone else had this happen?

Verizon is pushing a firmware update to the Quantum routers.  It adds useful functionality to the router.  See this thread for the details:

http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Fios-Quantum-Gateway-1-1-Enhancements/m-p/774233#M54060

My router was updated yesterday.  Unfortunately, my router lost it's static DHCP assignments as well.  I had even saved my router config prior to the upgrade as I was concerned about loosing my settings.  A restore of the router config after the update did not recover my static DHCP settings.  I'm not sure what else wasn't restored.

While I do like the improved features that the new firmware provides (Guest WiFi is a big deal for me), I too am disappointed in how this upgrade cleared out some settings and how we users have no control over the process.  I've heard that we're supposed to receive an email about the upgrade, but I never got one.

Good Luck.

Exactly!  I had a backup and restoring it did not recreate the static entries I had lost.  I also lost firewall settings that I had for blocking traffic at a certain time of the day so my kids would be forced to study and not surf...

I did not get a notice of the upgrade either...

happened to me too.  Had some secuity cameras set up with static IPs for streaming apps.  The got new IPs from the pool so it broke my ability to monitor those cameras until I had the time to figure out what happened.  INEXCUSABLE
