Switching ISP provider

Ssullivan — Sat, 13 Jan 2024 19:26:32 GMT

I recently switched from Xfinity to Verizon. I have the Ruckus (ICX 7150-C12P) with three WiFi expanders. The Verizon tech said there is a connection coming from the Verizon modem but when I plug it into the ruckus, I get no signal. Using the same port, when I plug back the Xfinity, WiFi connection is restored through the ruckus. Is there any configuration that needs to occur? Should I be using the same Ethernet port for either ISP provider? Any help would be great.

Hi @Ssullivan

Greetings!!!

Thank you for contacting RUCKUS Lennar Home Community.

I hope you are doing well!!!

Thank you for the information you shared.

As per the case description, I understand that your RUCKUS setup is not working after changing the ISP.

As you mentioned the ethernet cable from the Modem is connected to the RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch. If your ISP modem is directly connected to the ICX-7150-C12P Switch, it doesn’t work only with Modem. The connection must be from a Router or Modem-Router combo device. Could you please confirm this once?

Please refer to the short guide link below about how to connect the devices as a reference:

Hello Imran,

Thanks for the reply. I think the issue is Verizon only supplier me with a modem.

I noticed this message in one of the images you shared. Is it necessary that we have a router to have it work? When I plug the modem into one of the 12 ports, I’m able to see my network, and connect for about 1 minute. After that, it drops and I stop getting internet. Is this expected?

One additional inquiry - I’m having issues connecting to the ruckus app to check the network. Have there been issues here?

Best Regards
