Turns out for encryption settings to ...

The RN3xx series gets around 144 / 145 Mbps of throughput when encryption is in use and 509+ Mbps when not.
500 mbps (~62 MB/s) still seems slow to me. You should be getting around 100 MB/s for reads/writes of large sequential files over a wired gigabit network. How are you testing this? Is AV enabled on the NAS?
Newer NAS (RN 42x, RN52x, etc) have hardware support for SMB transport encryption, the RN3xx doesn't.

Can confirm read/write performance (unecrypted) on my wired gigabit network:
RN426 - 110MB/s (RAID6)
RN202 - 100MB/s (RAID5)
even my RN104 is getting 70MB/s (RAID0 and RAID1)
