I bought a NETGEAR Orbi RBK14 from Amazon that contains Orbi router (RBR10) plus three Orbi satellites (RBS10).  I received it yesterday and installed it same day.

1. Is this the best for PC and console gaming?
2. Is this the best for streaming?

"Best" is not the right question.  Is it "good enough?" is more appropriate, and the answer is "Probably. Depending on the ISP connection speed."  Netgear's "10" series Orbi product is obviously designed to compete with lower cost mesh WiFi systems, such as Google Mesh, TP-Link Deco M5, Amazon eero, etc..  It is a "dual band" system, where the 5G WiFi backhaul shares the same radio as the user 5G WiFi devices.  Higher end (more expensive) systems are typically "Tri Band" where the 5G WiFi backhaul is on separate radios and separate WiFi channels.  Head to head, none of these systems will match Tri Band WiFi systems for maximum throughput.  But, what matters is if the performance meets your needs. Why spend more money if you don't need to?

1. Why does my PS4 not connect with the Orbi due to "DNS not found" even though this DNS issue has been happening since 2019? I cannot use either of the two PS4's with the satellite--even though one of the consoles is less than 10 feet away from the Orbi router.
   1. the  PlayStation that is close to the Router disconnects every 5 minutes
   2. the PlayStation that is connected to a Satellite says DNS not found

The DNS not found message is coming from the PS4 and indicates that the DNS setting in the PS4 is not correct. Devices often have settings to (a) use the DNS service provided by the router, or (b) use specific DNS servers defined by the user.  Most people pick (a) by default. If they pick (b), they often use 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.
