I am converting from Xfinity Internet service. I have an existing nest Wi-Fi mesh (gen 2) already configured at home. This mesh Wi-Fi system works perfectly fine with the Xfinity service and stable for several years.

When I connect the nest Wi-Fi router into the T-Mobile gateway (Ethernet) the Internet works however, it’s about a quarter of the speed of the T-Mobile gateway if I directly connect to it. 
 

ookla Speedtest when connected to T-Mobile Wi-Fi is great —> 330+Mbps down 33Mbps Up

ookla Speedtest when connected to Nest Wi-Fi mesh, is 45Mbps down an 13 Mbps up.

end point testing performed with iPhone 14 pro max and MBP yield Sam results 
 

my SSIDs are different for the mesh and the Gateway.

 

any thoughts on why such a drastic drop in performance 

I have the exact same problem. The speed from the Google Wifi mesh is around a quarter of what the same device in the same positions gets from he T-Mobile gateway (different SSIDs)

Did either of you resolve the 75% drop in performance between the T-Mobile Gateway and the Google Wifi mesh? I have the same issue; using the Nokia 5G21 gateway and Google Nest wifi Pro. I am not the most tech savvy but from what I can glean it may be related to the double NAT which results from installing the Google Nest Pro as a router "after" the Nokia router/modem combo?? Is this an insurmountable problem with the T-Mobile provided equipment? If yes, why are they promoting Google nest? If I can't resolve this, then I will need to drop T-Mobile. :(
