Ethernet cable question

OK, at the risk of starting a big debate, I have just a dumb question: I see a lot of post talking about Supra 8 and Wireworld ethernet cables, so are you talking about cables making a direct run from your router? I have Cat 5 run throughout my house by me when our home was built 8 years ago. Everything is finished in the home and my sound room is not real close to where I have my network router/modem. So does the ethernet cable going from the wall to my Node 2i make any difference if inside the wall is only Cat5e?

Hi discopants,  In my set up, my Modem / router and a giga bite switch are both in my office remote of my listening areas.  I also have my Nucleus+ in my office direct to the router.  Then cables (cat5E) travel through walls to my  DAC / Streamer endpoints.
1) Will the Etherregen improve this system?  Does it go between my router and switch, and if so should then all important stuff come out of the switch and not the router?
2) Does adding a better cable (cat 8) downstream of a Cat5E cable improve things (from the wall jack to the DAC /Streamer)?
Thanks!  Ken

Thanks anzaanimalclinic,  I looked at the SoTM website; very confusing to me.
What router and filter do you have?
Thanks, Ken
