Hello Junwoo, Welcome to the Netgear community!
Two challenges are coming together here:
1. The PCs and the NAS you connect for SMB 3.0 Multichannel must be individual Ethernet links, with no LAG or virtual switch the like configured.
2. As we talk of two switches, you can't link these with parallel Ethernet connections, there is no magic multilink-support for connecting two switches - network loops, or loop prevention port shutdowns are predictable (in absence of a spanning-tree implementation). No other way but configure a LAG for the multi-link connections between the to switches connecting the two rooms.
Does this help?
