Plug access point into LAN should be faster?

[TimMoyer]

Upgraded my speed to 1GB. Had trouble with my Linksys mesh system. After three long troubleshooting calls, with speeds at 800/800 at router, but only 200/200 max around the other 2 access points. I have switched to a new Google Pro 3 pack. Super easy to set up although I am still getting the same results. So now I am trying to increase my speed by plugging the access points directly into my LAN through a switch. I would think I should get close to the same speed as the source 800/800, but no! Still 200/200. So I have stared trying to find a way to get into the advanced settings so that I can see if the access points are actually set to use the LAN port or if they are still just connecting via the wifi. I cannot seem to find a way.

Anyone have input? Can I get into each devices advanced settings? or at least the main router?

Thank you!

See what backhaul a unit uses: Go to it in the Google Home app, then the settings icon. There it will say "connection type".

Heres a diagram of how wired backhaul should be connected up:

And make sure the switch you're using does not have loop detection/prevention, like STP (spanning tree protocol), as it won't work with Nest Wifi. What switch do you use?
