That hasn't been my experience with the U6-Pro and U6-Mesh. Are you running 80 MHz channels? Do you have a lot of 5 GHz interference around you? I'm typically seeing 500-800 Mbps on the top end, from close range, with those APs. That's with a relatively clean 80 MHz channel though.

Yea, I have 80 MHz channels on with one AP at 36 and the other at 149. I live in a suburban area and the channels definitely aren't perfect. My closest neighbor seems to have quiet a few Google Wifi APs with pretty strong signal at my house.

Did you ever notice your U6-Mesh running hot like really in an alarming way?

You might have more reliable results with 40 MHz then, or with moving to a DFS channel. The U6-Mesh definitely does run hot, but most UniFi APs do. The U6-Mesh does seems the hottest-running of the dozen plus models I've used though. I know some people have had to RMA them, but it's too early to know if that's a real problem or not.
