What are the benefits of these cables? I assume they will make a difference to reliability. Ive questioned if the difference would be noticeable as its more expensive. If its worth investing in I could buy some, the fact that i have 200m of cat 5 or cat 5e lying around means i can make use of it. Anyway id really like some recommendations for terminals, how to fix it up nice and neat to a wall with trunking

Thanks, I think the TPlink might be viable to use instead of a switch then. Running things like steam link or ps4 remote play are noticeably choppy when playing games, so id rather ethernet. I also want to look into seting up some sort of media server soon so I can steam to each device, ive got a raspberry pi i might use for such a thing (I need to do my research first). Its marked as cat 5e, however the cables dont seem to be twisted.

So my modem/router is an archer VR600 downstairs right next to the bt socket, I recently brought a new graphics card and want to use technologies such as the steam link or playstation remote play. I also want the quickest possible connection to my pc upstairs. So basically I have a tv with playstation, steamlink and tv that I want to connect via Ethernet opposite my router (Unfortunately its the other side of the room so ill have to run some sort of cable along the walls). Directly upstairs from, the router is a spare bedroom with my pc in which i currently run a cat 5 cable to. Then in the main bedroom there is a playstation, tv and steamlink I again want to connect via Ethernet. I can easily access the attic and run cable from there, i have already run holes and trunking ready to cable. What is the most energy efficient way and highest performance way of achieving this? Any advice appreciated, and here are my main questions: 1. I currently have about 200m cat 5 cable, is it worth upgrading to another cable type? 2. How do I wire this up most efficiently? My current thought is to run some cable to behind the tv using 1 port to a switch, 2 ports running upstairs to each bedroom, should I have a switch in each room? The spare bedroom with my main pc will me my centre point ideally 3. What box/terminal should I use? Will one of these suffice? Amazon link I already own a tp link TL-1043ND gigabit router running dd-wrt. Can I incorporate this somehow or should I just get a switch? DD-WRT is complex and im not sure how i should run it. I managed to get a connection running an ethernet from my router to one input, with another input to my pc and it worked. The WAN input doesnt seem to work though.
