Is this just the connection between the router and a gigabit
swiotch?

If its only carrying internet/wifi it only need be 100Mbps.

So no need to connect all the pairs or be prissy about it

My wifi runs at 600+ megabits a second so 100 megabit ethernet is a
bottleneck.

Yes it can be. Although even 100M Ethernet can be faster than wi-fi
if a
number of devices are talking to each other as they are not sharing
the
bandwidth. Each 100M data stream having its own separate bandwidth, as
long as multiple devices are not all trying to talk to the same one.

Yes, but I have three 5Gig access points.

Only gig ethernet so that is a potential bottleneck here.


To me you appear to be saying:
"I have three 5GHz access points and only 1Gb/s Ethernet"
the first is a measurement of radio frequency and the second is one of
throughput.

I did wonder that... Although the latest 802.11ac does in theory go up
to more than Gbps speeds when using multiple antenna, MIMO, and beam
forming.


I would be happy with a reliable 6 meter range at more than 5Mbps



Currently 866.7 Mbs and I am effectively in the garden (conservatory) so
double walls and a fridge between me and the access point about 5m away.
