So I self host some stuff like jellyfin, ssh server for borg backup etc. over lan(Asus RT-AX53U router).

And just noticed that i still use cat5 and cat5e cables.

Does it make sense to upgrade to newer cat8 cables?

Iperf is the standard for measuring speeds between devices, remote OR local. Can you be more specific about what you mean by "This"?
