I recently just bought and set up 2 AX92U with AIMESH over the 5ghz-2 as the backhaul, basically I did the basic setup (2.4ghz and 5ghz-1 is set as dualband, together) to set up the router and aimesh. I also updated to the latest firmware (2 weeks ago).
I have Xfinity with 600mbps and have tested it wired directly to the modem and getting those speeds.
I have noticed that connecting to the mesh node (wired and wifi), the speeds will be super slow, <5-10mbps. However, if I turn on QOS, the mesh node speeds are normal and good speeds > 200mbps (don't recall actual speed as this was 2 weeks ago, but speeds and connection was good).
However, my wired connection (desktop pc) to the main router goes from 600mbps to 300mbps with QOS on. This isn't really too big of a deal as the speeds are still enough for me, but I would like to know if this is normal.
I wanted to ask if
Thanks and I appreciate any help regarding this

I wanted to ask if
- Is is expected/necessary to have QOS turned on to use AIMESH?
- Is QOS supposed to half my speed? Not sure if its related to the NAT/HW acceleration as I have read about that affecting speeds, but I don't have much knowledge regarding this.
