The router is in one room, connected to the 4-gang. The individual 1-

from the back of the router, via the patch cable, to the 4-gang and
thence to the 1-gang is just a big extension lead.

Could have been much simpler to simply run a single wire from the router
to a network switch which these days are cheap as chips for an 8 port.
Unless of course there was nowhere to plug a network switch in where you
have the connection box.

Um, what's a network switch?

A switch is what's already inside your router.
A device to connect 4 network devices together ( 5 if you include the router
itself. )

There's nothing wrong with your network layout: it's ideal.
You just need to sort out the botched wiring.
