Nest WiFi Pro - slow upload speeds

I just set up a new 3 piece Nest WiFi Pro system to replace an old Orbi mesh network in home.  It was super easy and quick and everything went flawlessly.  I'm just curious about what I'm seeing when I run the "Test Network" in the Google Home app.  Download speeds are spot on, high 800s, low 900's.  My upload speed consistently comes up between 112 and 114Mbps though.  With the Orbi system, with the main router and satellites in the exact same locations, upload and download speeds were basically symmetrical, somewhere in the upper 800's.  When I "test mesh" with Google Home, it tells me the satellites have a "great connection".  Which they should, this isn't that big a house.  

Any thoughts on the upload speed anyone?  TIA.

Dang, I was hoping someone had a clue because Google support doesn't.  I wasted an hour last night while they told me first, it looked great.  940Mbps down and 113Mbps upload on a symmetrical gigabit connection is great?  Then it was because I was too near a microwave (not), blamed it on the weather (!), or told me it was because I had so many devices attached.  52 is too many when about 48 of them are light bulbs and other smart home devices that use almost no bandwidth? It advertises up to 100 devices per point, and I have a 3 point network.

The poor rep kept putting me on hold for a couple of minutes while he obviously was asking for ideas, because he'd come back with another ridiculous suggestion every time.   

Finally I thanked him for trying and opened a return.  I thought I was upgrading my 4 year old Orbi system, not crippling my network.  But the Orbi always gave me basically 940/940, the reason I changed is because one satellite was starting to act funky, losing connection fairly frequently after years of being rock solid.

Oh well, gonna try a different maker and see what happens.

The speed test is not accurate, I just put in a Wi-Fi Pro 3 pack and the download speeds show as just over 200Mbit, when I do a speed test with nPerf it shows what I should be getting 900down/110up, I'd suggest doing your speed test using nPerf instead.
