Interesting! Thanks guys, after the feedback I will probably fix my cat5 socket to the tv / ps4 and hardwire it as before.
I didn't realise the x1 had 5ghtz option.

You mean Cat 5e I hope.

Cat 5 usually operates at 100mbps
Cat 5e usually operates at 1gbps
Cat 6 can operate at 10gbps

* All of the referenced speeds are assuming your runs aren't too long, and your cross talk isn't too high. Cat 6 while the best option - is super finicy. Its runs need to be short, the bends minimal, and the cross talk low.
