MR60/MS60 slow wifi and wired backhaul issue

Ok Michael, let's dive into your response a little -

1. I am not expecting the AP to provide faster speed than a wired connection. The capabilities of the device and the Wifi6 spec are pretty clear that I should be getting better speeds than what I currently do.

2.  In my shoes, rat's nest? What exactly is a rat's nest about my setup? I have wifi provided by the Nighthawk Mesh, my router is rock solid modern pfSense appliance. Like many people, I have little stars happening at my media center, my office, and the NAS, with simple switches feeding the devices. Everything is wired except for mobile devices. So, if having a Netgear managed switch in front of Netgear devices that are advertised as being AP capable, then absolutely shame on me for this rat's nest.

Really,  your post is the opposite of helpful and does not make you look at all like an expert. Thanks for the response, and if you care to clarify what exactly is a rat's nest here that would be great.
