RE: Cat 7

I can not imagine any wired Ethernet cabling offering worse performance than wireless, unless there are broken wires or loose connectors. The error rate on wired Ethernet cables in typical home situations are likely to be zero over the entire life of the installation. The Ethernet signalling is engineered to run 100 meters or longer and this has set the standards for cabling. Wireless on the other hand, has an error rate that can be 1 per cent or even higher, due to interference, weak signals, etc.. Running simple Ping tests will easily illustrate this point and show the delays and lost packets on wireless connections vs. wired.

If your network is working poorly it is likely to be some kind of overload or software problem, not a cabling problem. At least that has been my experience. (My last problem was a peer-to-peer application that was saturating my upstream DSL link, which problem was solved by configuring QoS to throttle this application to a fraction of the available bandwidth.)
