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 cable...
Option 2 will not work since only LAN1 on the ONT is usable. Option 1 is your best bet.
Nighthawk do you have any recommended switches that are known to work with optik
does telus supply switches? potentially 2

Community Power UserD-Link or TP-Link switches have worked well for me. You may need a more capable switch if you are running Optik TV packets through them, but the low cost ones are fine for all other internet traffic.
Telus does not supply switches. Their responsibility ends at their equipment (router & TV), your network is left to you. I recommend hardwiring anything you can, so as to leave the Wi-Fi for wireless-only devices.
thanks!
yes im looking to hardwire as much as possible when i move to telus. (wanting the fibre speed benefits)
one of the switches i need will be connecting xbox one and the optik box. and i did read there can be some conflicts with optik.
I also read the the xbox one doesnt play nice with the t3000m if hardwired and a switch is recommended to solve that issue
