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

Which option is it? Also, is it secure?
I’m using QuickConnect relay atm.
“Configure port forwarding” covers pretty much all of the steps. I don’t think that it would be any less secure than quickconnect through a relay, but if security is a priority, then look into setting up a VPN to your network instead.
I just checked and my router doesn’t allow for DDNS so this option won’t work for me unfortunately.
You can run a DDNS service on a machine within the network if your router doesn’t have the configuration available.
But said machine would have to run 24/7 for this to work correct?
