I recently acquired a second hand DS216j with 6TB (SHR1 so only 3TB is usable). I moved all my Google Photos images and videos onto it, but now when I access it through QuickConnect it loads them really slow, the videos are constantly buffering and when they load they have a messed up framerate (really jittery). I have a 500 fibre connection and the station is connected to the router through an ethernet cable. Any idea how I could possibly fix this? Thanks

      M500 broadband package boasts average download speeds of 516Mbps and average upload speeds of 52Mbps

      So, while viewing media from outside your local netwwork, i.e. via Synology QuickConnect, you’re limited to 52mbit speed.
      If you’re self-hosting upload speed matters alot unfortunately. You will surely need something that buffers / transcodes your media for viewing from the internet.

        So you reckon it’s my connection is bottlenecking the whole operation?

        EDIT: I noticed when I’m on my home network, there is no issue with the videos being slow. So it is the connection most likely. Ergo, nothing I can improve unless I upgrade my contract?
