I tested large file transfer on network with another ssd and top speeds are same around 150mb/sec and there was no speed slow down on the way.
I realized that speed slow down problem is related with my current ssd. I tested my current ssd with a direct connection to my computer and shows the same gradual slow down.
As a result, this router is able to provide around 150mb/sec with fastest hard drives without any geadual slow down. If anybody experience gradual slow down during large file transfer, I recommend them to check their hard drives.

I normally get 400 mb/sec when I connect my SSD directly to my computer, however when this SSD is connected to the RAX120 router and 5gbe connection is active through my wired set up, I only get 160-170 mb/sec.
Interesting point. I have never tried running speed tests on USB devices attached to a router. It is all just background stuff here. But I would not expect it to match local speeds. Too many things to get in the way.
