Two switches and a router (2x TL-SG2008P & ER605)
2022-01-20 22:47:52
Model: SG2008P  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.02

I have ER605 router and two SG2008P switches.

What would be the best way to link these two switches?

 

Pardon my poor drawing but

should I connect each SG2008P to LAN1 LAN2 ports on ER605 router (diagram left)?

or should I connect SG2008P to SG2008P (diagram right)? 

I have only one LAN(VLAN) network.

Actually, looking at your two topologies, both should work, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
You could just google "two switches and a router", I think there's plenty of information there to help you.

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.
