Hello, my Netgear router crapped the bed so I plan to fully upgrade my home system to Omada SDN.

 

I already have a TL-SG2218 switch for my ethernet ports around the house. 

 

I have also ordered the following:

- TL-SG2210P V3 PoE switch (I have 4 AC1350 access points)

- OC200 controller

- ER605 router

 

Because I will have two switches, I was wondering what the best way was to hook them up. Ideally I'd just have 1 massive PoE switch but my wife would kill me.

 

I planned to have the TL-SG2210P as the primary switch, with the controller, router, and TL-SG2218 connected to it.

 

Or should the TL-SG2218 be plugged seperately into the router?

 

Thanks!

Hi @templeowls 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

You can cascade or connect both of them to the router.

It does not matter or have a negative effect on your network. Just make sure you don't loop them.

Since I cannot quote from other websites, please kindly google "network loop".

About further knowledge on the network switch, you can check this one out.
