I made a mistake in my question. The Netgear RBR50 - ORBI AC300 Tri-Band Wifi is downstairs and the Netgear RBS20 - ORBI AC2200 Tri-Band Wifi Add-On satellite is in my room, which is what im trying to connect to my PS4 via ethernet cable.

Thanks. This makes perfect sense. My first step would be to look at the satellite connection to the router.
- On the Orbi router web interface, what does Attached Devices say about the satellite connection?
(It should be WiFi and "Good") - When the satellite is powered on, do the Ring Lights follow the pattern in this article:

Thank you so much. All I did was sync the router and satellite again and it worked when I setup LAN on the PS4. I am not the one who setup the WIFI so I was not able to recognize that the satellite lost its sync, and the whole time I was mistaking another satellite in our house on the Orbi router web interface. I knew this would be an easy fix, but I did not know where to start. After looking at the article you linked, I immediately realized the issue. I really appreciate your help.
