This doesn't explain why a rescan is taking such a long time. Do you see this for all rescans? The first scan is slower because MinimServer has to read data from every file in your library but rescans after this should be much quicker.

Just to let you know..
Synology got me to manually update the NAS with DSM 7.2.1 - 69057 for the DS218+ that they gave me a link to.. and this seems have solved the issue.
No other explanation from them as to why this release was not presented as an upgrade in the control panel upgrade/restore because it was this upgrade that was there that caused this issue in the first place IMO.
Also I can't do much to make changes to the Telco router.. its a pretty simple network I have mainly using cabled Gig Ethernet around my home with about 6 devices (tv's, PC etc) plus a couple of wifi devices (phone..tablet etc).
Nothing too fancy.
So I guess that I will just have to put up with a slightly longer rescan.
Sorry to have troubled you and thanks for your help.
Cheers
