Considering it worked as is for two years, I'd be less likely to suspect a configuration issue and more likely to suspect an equipment failure issue. I wonder what would happen if you replaced the AT&T router with the Netgear router? How many output ports are on the AT&T router? Perhaps the one the Netgear router is connected to is bad. Try switching ports.

I’ve got four ports.  They all seem to work.  I haven’t tried taking out the ATT router.  This isn’t my forte but I was under the impression I had to have it connected since it is a modem as well?  I reset the netgear but never did a factory reset.  So I’m going to try that.  For the life of me, I can’t remember why I bought the netgear router and the pros to having it instead of Using the ATT one.  Probably gaming related.  Was much easier to open ports for the Xbox and give it a static IP. Idk.   So who knows.  If it doesn’t work I may just roll with ATT’s equipment.

Regarding the AT&T modem, you may be right. If it's DSL, you're definitely right, though you said your service is gigabit, so no? My service provider NID is a fiber fed ONT, so service comes off it as WAN ready via CAT5, meaning I can get service directly from the NID, no router required. 

If it's working as is, and you can't remember the need for the Netgear, I'd say leave it as is.
