wall plate but am confused with the wiring to my router upstairs?

Can anyone help at all please?

Do you have a patch panel where all the cat5 ports terminate? - I'm 
guessing no?

If that's the case, you need all the wall ports to lead to where your 
router is located, and all cables from these ports need to be connected 
to the router in order for all devices connected to these wall ports to 
be able to communicate.

quite simple, unless I have misunderstood the question?

I have done that, apart from wiring the wall points. The router side is ok 
with existing male plugs connected. I need to wire the wall plate, but am 
confused with the 8 wires. Is that easier to understand? Sorry if I wasn't 
clear.
