Hi Steve,
Yes, you can: Create a Static LAG (Link Aggregation Group) on both switches.
Note: It has to be static because of the 116EPP does not support dynamic/LACP. Don't connect the second connection before both ends are configured - in case something goes bullocks, you can always disconnect the cable again.-Kurt

Many different names are used in the industry for the same - LAG, aggregation, bonding, ... - essentially all doing the same. Now you can also connect your NAS, your high performance workstation, ... to the network. Just create one LAG for each device.

I have also discovered that I can do the same to my Asus router on Lan Ports 1 and 2, however on my netgear GSS108EPP it appears I have to select LAG 1 from Ports 1 to 4 and LAG 2 from ports 5 to 8?
Why do I not have the option to set LAG1 to 5 and 6, Lag 2 to 7 and 8?
Is this restriction to do with hardware setup or just the firmware?
