Hello, I just purchased my first house and it has a cabinet of spaghetti in the office and I don’t know what it’s for or how to use it. But it does look expensive so if I can make it useful to me then I’d like to!

Personally I’d rather have multiple connections to the router. If that’s a shelf in front of this setup, I’d be tempted to put the router there and give each switch it’s own connection directly to the router. With the switches currently there you’d replace the blue cable connecting them (port 8 on left, port 1 on right) with a cable from each to the router. It splits the maximum possible devices that would be competing for bandwidth to the router.
Of course if that’s a terrible place for the wifi then I’d do what you said.
On soho routers with a handful of ports, usually the ports are just switchports connected to one logical LAN interface anyway. Don’t think it’d make a difference.
