WD My Passport Wireless Pro is super slow on MacBook Pro 2018

Dear community,

Recently I’ve purchased WD My Passport Wireless Pro 3 TB. The idea was to use it for storing large datasets (pictures). When I tried to work with it wirelessly it became very slow. Right at the moment I have 1.5 m pictures, but less than 100 GB of space used. It takes me 10+ mins to open a specific folder. Should it be like that? I believe no. When I use USB cable - it is much faster, but still - very uncomfortable.

Also, another question, when on Mac I try to connect to my hardwire drive I try to connect as an administrator, using “admin” as login and the code, which I have on the device. But it says - there is a mistake, so all and every time I am connected as a Guest.

Could you pls give me advice.

Thanks,
Alex
