Need help with newer home. - eviltoast

Trying to hard wire a ps4 vs using WiFi and there’s an Ethernet port near it. If we hook up the ps4 to the Ethernet port, it says cannot connect to internet. This is the picture of the network switch and there’s a bunch of non lit Ethernet ports. The homeowner is thinking he didn’t pay for Ethernet ports with the house and therefore they are not hooked up. I think it’s weird they would put random ports in the house with no wire attached. I can try and provide whatever other information you may need.

Thank you

    All in one

    I connected the Ethernet port on the wall to one of the 4 outgoing router ports. The router has a coaxial cable going to it. Everything else goes out

    Only the light for the ps4 connection goes on

    4 lan ports on the router

    I think it’s just a touchy/shitty streaming box. WiFi still works fine

    I don’t think the router has a Wan port

      I think the Ethernet port ( wall jack to the switch) you are connecting to is wired for telephone or damaged.
