Well, at least you can play with cache readfactor
in the file /usr/share/kodi/system/advancedsettings.xml
which is 5 at the moment. Perhaps you can get some improvement by this since you’re now using a gigabit adapter with more bandwidth than the built-in interface of the Vero 4k for which the current value is designed and tested.

Addition: Please, don’t change the original file /usr/share/kodi/system/advancedsettings.xml
but use /home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml
to make changes persistent against updates.
