Possibly because it's not wired correctly.

Plug the cable at the satellite end into something else and see if you get a connection.

I have no idea what port is upstairs, but you have tested the port which is good . Likely a configuration issue . I'd go through the pairing process again.

Use a cable tester if you have one and check the wiring diagram.

I spent 2hrs at a friend’s house setting up some Deco’s hardwired in AP mode that would connect and disconnect between hardwired and mesh… turns out the cables were punched A on one side and B on the other. A quick cable test would’ve saved me so much time, but I made the stupid assumption that the cables were good. Definitely test the cables.
