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

500 fibre connection means it is a 500mbit internet uplink?
Have you checked whether the ethernet cable you're connecing the DS216j to your router is a "Cat5e" cable. If it is a "Cat5" you would be limiting and thus bottlenecking your bandwidth to 100mbit max.

Is it connected to a gigabit connection? I recently found out my WiFi router only had 10/100 ports, which didn't matter until I needed to use them

What model is the router? I suspect it is a router your provider equipped you with? In that case, with a 500Mb download bandwidth contract it would be really crazy of your provider to hand you a router with 100Mb ports ;-)
In either way looking up specifications of the router model will help here.
