What other modem did you plug in?
What switch do you have?
There's different levels and some have dhcp/nat built in (basically a router built in) and then there's basic ones.

My switch is a Zyxel GS1900-24EP. I believe it was setup with static IPs going to all the building's devices (I definitely could be wrong). There are two WIFI Routers attached to the switch. I have a T-Mobile 5g home internet device as a backup an that has worked at providing the switch with internet.

You current switch is a pretty basic manager switch. It's not going to do the job by itself.. You can always call zyxel to confirm though as it's their gear. If you're trying to do a dual wan option for failover (and cheap), why not check into the edge routerx. I believe it supports both those options and is cheap.- orbitalpuffNov 30, 2023Guide
My main goal is for my VOIP to work. I have the T-Mobile device off to the side (unplugged) just for when there are network outages. I guess I need a router between my modem and switch? I just need to find one can can turn off SIP.
