We are talking about the Synology Quickconnect, right? Well, your switch doesn’t really have anything to do with Quickconnect.
I happened to own a couple of Synology NASes. I do not use Quickconnect myself, but I have read the Quickconnect white paper (https://global.download.synology.com/download/Document/Software/WhitePaper/Firmware/DSM/All/enu/Synology_QuickConnect_White_Paper.pdf) so I have some idea how it works. Quickconnect implements a couple of connectivity methods which are selected automatically. It appears to me that in your case Quickconnect selected the Quickconnect Relay Service which is very slow. The “fast” method involves hole punching in your router’s firewall. That hole is a randomly selected port so I guess it requires UPnP enabled and working on your Internet router. However, enabling UPnP on a router is not recommended for security reason. Instead of using Quickconnect, you may like to implement your own secured access method.
