    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.

        Nighthawk  do you have any recommended switches that are known to work with optik

         

        does telus supply switches? potentially 2
