T-Mobile Home Internet + Google Nest WiFi

I just set up my T Mobile Gateway with Google WiFi Mesh as well as Sonos controller on 1-8-21. 

The Summary: Drop dead simple. 

The T Mobile High Speed Gateway is the Grey one that is Tube shaped. (I was not sure i was shipped the right hardware when it was not a small book shaped device). The Google mesh has 4 Google hardware pieces to create the mesh around the House, and the Sonos has speakers all around the house. Ethernet connection from the TMobile Gateway to the google Mesh. From the google mesh device ethernet cable to Sonos controller. Then just followed the instructions on the app TMO has you download on your phone. The google mesh just lit up and had the same network settings that i had before disconnecting from Xfinity. 

I had set hours aside, had my headset ready to go, laptop up, all ready call the TMO helpdesk. probably took 30 mins, 10 minutes of that was connecting up the hardware. 

Speed seems fine, ran 4 tv's connected via Kindle Firestick at the same time, sonos, and on the internet on laptop, seemed fine. We don't have gamers here though. thumbs up. Giving it a few days before i call Xfinity to cancel, but so looking forward to that. 

I essentially did the same thing, without the Sonos complication. But what I am seeing is no impact to downloads, but a huge hit to uploads. I've tried enabling/disabling iPv6 and changing DNS from automatic to use ISP DNS on the Nest router with no change in results. Everything else is fine except uploads.

Edit: I tried the SSID enable/disable thing above and it made no difference that I could see, only removing the option of uploading more quickly by jumping on the T-Mobile Wifi.
