It seems the arp patch (incorporated into the world of 4.9, 4.8, et al) caused a loss of default routes on some systems. It was just mentioned that there seems to be an update addressing this issue. To "fix" it, you may want to roll back to 4.8 and wait for the fix for the arp advisory to be placed into a patch and the source tree. Cheers
