Do multiple Ethernet wall ports degrade Ethernet connection? (alien.top)

Say I have an Ethernet cable running from router to wall port 1, from 1 to wall port 2, from 2 to wall port 3, and then finally to my computer from wall port 3. Does that affect the connection in any way or degrade it?

Yes.. that is a series circuit and the last ethernet cabling that did that was thinnet. Unshielded twisted pairs has a length limit and should be home ran to the patch panel
