Do you have Cat5 or Cat5e? Cat5e has been around for 15 years and has better shielding and throughput than just 5. If you have 5e I would think any issues you're experiencing would be tied to the router. Even if you have 5, I've run into way more problems with routers over the years than problems with cables.

I honestly don't know and don't know of any easy way to tell. I just ordered a 10pack of 14ft long Cat6 from Amazon today though for about 20$ to assure myself that it's not the cables though.
ETA: I'm also very tempted to drop the $325 on the Netgear Orbi to replace my Apple Time Capsule router though. Just not sure if it's worth it other than to cover my whole 2000 sq. footage house, which my Time Capsule is having a hard time doing right now.
