I am planning to design a home network for a cable internet connection.

I have two choices that I would like your opinion on….
Down below I have an attachment of an image file that I have created. Please let me know the advantage and disadvantage of each….


1. I am connecting 3 – 5 computers
2. I will be using cable internet
3. I plan to hook up a wireless later but to expensive right now.
4. three of the computers are laptops
5. I will be using Cat-5 with standerd RJ-45 connectors
8. I will be using Windows XP on all computers
