Here is a suggestion, it could help with slow access to shares but that depends on whether there is another problem other that the default name resolution
process.
Do you have a Windows server where you can run DNS in your Home LAN?
You could setup a zone on your local DNS server, add A records for the local hosts and then use this DNS server on home LAN.
You would then use the FQDN to access the local resources i.e. \\FQDN
You can add forwarders to the DNS server so the clients can resolve names out on the internet.
