Please expert let me know.

TIA

 

TP-Link TL-WR840N -  https://www.tp-link.com/in/home-networking/wifi-router/tl-wr840n/v1/#overview

Asus RT-N12+ - https://www.asus.com/Networking/RTN12Plus/overview/

First of all Cat7 is not an official standard. Secondly any Ethernet cable will work with any of those routers. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Both of those only have 10/100 ethernet-ports, not even gigabit, so you are literally just wasting your money by going with CAT7.

and you don't need very good grade cable for those parts anyways, thats only a 100m link, so id just get a cat 5e/6 for this. cat 61/7/8 is only need for 10g base-t for longer runs.

You don't need Cat7 (which isn't even a thing).

 

The crappiest Cat5e cable can do 1gbps without any problems. You probably won't even find patch cables that are less than Cat6a grade, which are good for 10 gbps
