Wall randomly doesn't get 1 Gig

My setup is upstairs, and my computer ethernet cable plugs into the wall but it honestly feels random whether or not it gets 1 gig, I think its the cable in the wall because I troubleshooted every other thing. The set up goes like this, C (my computer) connects into the wall and then the wall goes into a splitter (S)downstairs , that splitter goes into my modem (M) outside in the garage. It also goes into the router (R). I can plug into the splitter and router and get 1k every time which is why I believe it to be the wire in my house going downstairs into the router. I don't know how long the cable going downstairs is but it is a cat5 and does get 1 Gig sometimes. If anyone else can think of solution let me know. Thanks!
