Load balancing on router ports?
There is a Mikrotik router for 10 ports, from it there is a link to a dell switch with 48 ports (All are busy)
There are 4 up links on the switch. Does it make sense to distribute the connection from the router to all 4 ports? Or is one enough?

One is enough and not distributed - Dell and Mikrotik have excellent protocols for this
it all depends on the quantity and quality of traffic, if, for example, there is intranet traffic that exceeds the bandwidth of one (or how many of them you have there now) channel, then you can do Bonding (with some reservations, this will unbalance the bandwidth and make it from gigabit and more. Again same with some reservations).
Well, that is, if the router only lets you access the Internet and does nothing else, then its bandwidth should be enough if your Internet channel is equal to the bandwidth before the switch, otherwise you can do better (but more difficult).
