whats the ethernet running through?
is it going through a switch, a patch panel, or is it a direct connection with ethernet cable?If you move the satellite to by the router and connect with a known good 6ft cable, will it show connected?

Ethernet at keystone shows fine connection.
If I plug the satellite into the router using a 6ft good cable, I did notice it switched to “wired”.
