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?

Cat 5 should be good ... up to a 1000 M some such spec ...

@jmphotography , It seems to me that you may want to look into the Modem and Router if you are experiencing a marked difference between WiFi and Hardwire.

My mistake: " The maximum length you can run Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6a cable is 100 meters or 328 feet. If you require a longer run, you will need to put an active component, such as a router, in-between the signals."
Thought it might be longer length limit.
At less than 300 feet total length you are still good.
Also the number of connection points should be limited for best results.

Best Regards,
