BTW, this is much faster than crappy Google mesh system, including the newest one (I used nest mesh for few months before getting M9 Plus). Two of my extended family are still using M9 Plus and it still work flawless for them.
You are expected to get around 550 to 600 Mbps on the main router (YMMV based on your wireless interference). If you wire the satellites they will also get you same sped. Otherwise speed will be based on wireless link speed. And M9 plus has tri band. So even wireless linking works flawlessly. I was pulling close to 400Mbps in my office and on very far end of the house I was pulling about 250Mbps.

No method of manual channel selection.
All of the mesh devices use the same channels as all other ones, not just for the 3rd backhaul band which is required to be on the same channel. No, mesh networks, roaming or fast roaming (802.1k/v/r) does not require all APs be on the same channel, they should not be for best experience and least interference.
Control of devices only through the phone app.
Backhaul 3rd wireless band appears to stay up and active as a "hidden" SSID taking up channel space even when using in all wired backhaul mode.
Positives been using a 3 pack in house in AP only mode backhauled with no issues and very stable. Can't speak for using them in router mode. I've had some issues with fast roaming on some things but that is devices specific, not the fault of the M9 specifically.
M9 plus from Costco with wired back haul. Don't try this at home, you will be disappointed in your results.
Here's mine, just installed 2x Deco W3600 from Walmart for $129. I have Gigabit internet, would I be better off with the M9???

In your case what you have done is the correct thing. that is to wire them instead of relying on wireless as inter communication link between pucks/satellites this helps improve performance of any mesh system by far. That is why your network handles all that traffic without a hitch and will continue to do so until you come across a situation where you run out of the bandwidth goog wifi gen 1 offers on wireless

This worked alot better for me, maybe I'm too far from dslreports nodes or something

However, the whole point of a mesh is easily adding nodes, and apparently these are not findable as single pucks. I need one to extend the inlaws' for their outdoor cameras.
Anyone know the best way to get a single puck of the M9?
