Question on network bandwidth

We are an office of 8 people. Almost all of the people working at office listen to music (even from youtube videos) with earbuds while working. Company policy allows listening music.

However, we have a problem. With all this music activities on the network, our nextcloud, installed on unRAID server gets pretty slow which is unacceptable. When I test nextcloud when people are not at the office it is pretty snappy.

Some info on basic components: - Gigabit Switch (3com Baseline Switch 2928-SFP Plus) and gigabit network - An old OpenWRT router (Netgear WNDR3700) - A PoE switch for 8 IP cameras. This switch and recording device connected to the 3com switch)

Do you think employing QoS for unRAID at router level will help the solution? Or QoS is just for sharing the internet, not for LAN bandwidth? Could this problem be due to a weak router we use? If so does installing pfSense help? Or any other advise?

Thanks for your support.
