Although not your problem the so called "cat8" cable you have is a likely a fake. These cables are only used in data centers where they need 40gbit copper connects. Most times you see them cost about $50 so you are not going to get real ones on amazon.
They are better than those flat cables which are also fakes. At least yours have 26awg wire which is closer to the minimum size of 24.

You need nothing better than cat5e that is pure copper wire with wire size 22-24. Buying so called "better" cables will not make things run faster or better.

Your problem is you are using powerline networks to connect to your router. It greatly depends on the house you have them in but 130mbps is pretty much what is a average rate people get. If you have coax wires in your room and the room with the router you can use MoCA. That can get full gigabit speeds.

By the way thanks for posting as much as you did many people would not have included the tenda line which save lots of back and forth posts.
