RJ45 Cat 7 split into two slow ports (alien.top)

Hi here!

The appartement I'm staying has built-in Cat7 RJ45 cables going in a wall socket and splitting them into two ports, 4 cable each. Each port is outputting 100Mbps instead of 1Gbps.

Is it possible to rewire the 8 cables into 1 port to obtain 1Gbps ? If yes, how?

You have a lot going wrong here. To start, if that’s cat7 cable your trying to terminate in a cat5e jack it won’t work well.

Go on the interweb and lookup what a correctly terminated cable should look like cause that’s not even close.
