re: Question regarding WiFi 5 and 6

It came with the router and one access point. The router has to plug into your modem so it was downstairs and I put the access point in the guest bedroom which is in the middle of the hallway upstairs.
It said the connection was great in the Google Home app, but when I speed tested it that wasn't the case. It was much slower than what I was already getting upstairs.

Yeah something wasn't right. Not saying it was your fault, because if the app said it was "great" then it should have been great. Obviously that wasn't the case.
I've never tried Nest wifi (nor any other mesh system), but a ton of people here have it and love it, so I didn't try to steer you away.
Personally, I had some coverage issues in my house with my decent quality ASUS router, and instead of getting mesh wifi I picked up a couple of Ubiquiti AP's. It's not for everybody or every situation because you do have to run some cat6, but the coverage is excellent and the speeds are great.
Ubiquiti also has a line of mesh wifi products called Amplifi (one of which has wifi6), in case you look into it again in the future and are put off by Google's stuff.
