So I got an update. The WiFi upstairs is now slower than it was when I was just using my ISP provider router.

Download speed was 15 MBps slower and upload was 20 MBps slower.
You got the mesh wifi already?

Yeah. My local Home Depot had it on sale for $70 off. I hooked everything up, ran some speed tests and they all clocked slower than what I was running originally.

My cellphone was getting 300+ MBps in the back bedroom upstairs with my ISP router. I ran a speed test from the exact location after I set up the mesh system at only pulled down 90 MBps.

Sounds to me that the device you were using for the speed test wasn’t swapping or roaming to the access point and remained connected to the main nest router. That’s an issue of the device, not the mesh Wi-Fi. I use the older google Wi-Fi and love it.
