Hi @Patty
I believe you mean after installing the ICX your AP went from Root to MESH?
If yes, meaning that that AP is not able to reach the gateway IP from the eth port, possibly ICX or somewhere the communication is blocking. If you identify this problem then the AP will revert back to Root AP.

It's currently a root AP. it used to be a Mesh AP

Patty, when your AP goes to Root it means the AP is able to reach the default gateway through the wired uplink, hence, Mesh is not required in that AP.

Remember Mesh is used only when the APs don't have a wired path towards the default gateway.
