Let me preface this with I am somewhat tech illiterate so I’d LOVE for someone to please explain to me like a small child how to resolve this issue. I recently purchased the Orbi RBR20 with 2 satel...

How To: Properly Configure The Arris BGW-210 For "Bridge Mode" (Walkthrough) : Ubiquiti
You can do this yourself without divine intervention from your ISP.
An alternative is to put the Orbi into wireless access point mode. (See the Orbi manual.) A lot of us do this. It does disable some features, such as Parental Controls, but they may not be important to you, or you existing router may provide them.

If you don't know how to disable the router, I recommend contacting the ISP and asking for there help. Once the modem is bridge, then you can use the Orbi in router mode and the PS4 will connect to the Orbi thru the modem.
