It isn't routing that is going to be a problem, you know everyone is going to recommend the bottom method (where your computers are hard wired in) because it's always going to be the more reliable method. You mentioned that your computer is wireless, you're not really going to be running into any speed issues without first changing from wireless to wired, I wouldn't be worried about your method of connecting devices unless there was a specific device that bottlenecked such as the wireless card in your actual PC, or the signal/strength between your pc and the ac5300. or even running bad cable between your router and switch (or having a 100Mbps switch with internet speed higher than 100Mbps)
