1. Check your wireless performance (wavemon and iperf)
2. Use fstab based mounts instead of the ones from within Kodi

Some tutorial for install and configure fstab?

I still suggest to first check point number one.

Well you didn’t mentioned which protocol you are using but for samba follow this

Configuring fstab based Samba share mounts

This tutorial is to help those who are using Samba (also known as CIFS, SMB or Windows Networking). It assumes that you already are sharing media files on a Windows Server or Desktop. Why use /etc/fstab instead of Kodi’s built in SMB client? The Kodi client in current versions (17.x and older) is slow. Using /etc/fstab is faster, and not really that hard to setup. EDIT: 11/1/2019 While improvements were made in Kodi 18.x, using fstab will still be faster. Preparation: You will need to know …

I´m using Samba.
About wireless performance, I don´t know how to interpret the data I get. What´s good? What´s need for good performance? That´s why I think to go directly to point two.

Well in wavemon signal strenght should be better than 65db (lower is better).
And you should have no retries or loss.

In Iperf you need to have >40Mbit and stable
