"into the wall" does not provide enough information. What would be helpful is....
- Inforamation about those ethernet cables inside the wall.
Where do they go? (a central place in the house?) - Where is the Orbi router in relation to that cabling?
- Is there a patch panel or ethernet switch installed?
- When the PS was connected to the satellite, was that directly to the satellite with an ethernet cable?

I have no idea about the cables in the wall. I assume it’s just the standard Ethernet port for any home internet where you connect from the wall to the modem typically. It’s on the far side of the house.
The router itself is right next to it.
I’m not sure what a patch panel or Ethernet switch is but there’s nothing else the Router is plugged into except an Ethernet port in the wall almost like an outlet.
Yes I plugged the PS into the satellite directly.
Additionally, my internet connection speed is apparently perfectly fast.
