will this home network setup work?
as per diagrams, im unsure which would work better/ at all.
im about to subscripe to telus internet+tv but cant really afford any downtime so would like to buy switches and cables so its ready to go. also with the current installation options i believe you are guided through but id like to have an idea first to know itll work
Option 2 will not work since only LAN1 on the ONT is usable. Option 1 is your best bet.

thanks for the response!
It looks like there has already been a prior fibre installation in this apartment because the white ONT box is already installed.
So with option 1 -
Would it just be a case of plugging the LAN1 of the ONT into the t3000m WAN.
Then the ethernet patch cables for each room into each LAN port of the t3000m
Then in each room i can attach a switch, to enable more than 1 device to be hardwired
im mainly confused about getting multiple hardwire connections in each room (computers in office and optik tv and xbox in living room)

Just set it up like you have in the diagram. I have several switches connected to the LAN ports on the T3200M. All works well.
