A typical way to handle this is to keep the working WiFi access point and have everything connect to that - and then use Ethernet to connect that access point to whatever it is that the ISP is forcing on you ... and turn off the WiFi on the ISP provided box.
Often the old ISP does not want their old box back because it is obsolete. It can sometimes be a bit tricky to get it set up first time - but if you move your old access point (with built-in DHCP presumably) to an IP address something like 192.168.123.1 then there is little chance of clashes with your new one. People here can help if you provide more info.
