FortiGate 80F internet connectivity via Eero Max 7 router

I have switched ISP from cable to fiber, which means I need to switch my 80F WAN connection from a cable modem to a Eero Max 7 router wired connection. I cannot get the 80F <-> Eero configuration to work (i.e., get internet connectivity), even though the Eero recognizes the 80F wired connection to its 2.5Gb port.

Is anyone successfully using a 80F <-> Eero configuration?

Any help on the setup, please?

Hi, What do you see on the FG site ? 

1: Do you see the ports coming up or not ? 

2: If you see the ports coming up, are you able to ping your gateway been given from your ISP ?

#exe ping x.x.x.x 

3: If you cannot even ping, do you observe any arp entry of your WAN port ? 

# get sys arp

could it be that the cable modem was in fact a modem and as such run via pppoe by the FGT

Then you might have to switch your WAN port over from pppoe to dhcp or static ip.
