I ran some before and after tests. Including keeping my setup as is, but prioritizing my laptop via the Nest app. Using fast.com, my laptop in the basement (which is wired into a nest router that is picking up the wifi signal from upstairs) was 120 Mbps DL, and 130 if I priortize it). I then tried using a combination of Linksys Router and my main floor Nest Router to compare those speeds. My laptop at best got to 130 Mbps DL. However, because the internet was directly going into the Linksys router, my Nest Wifi router on the main floor was taking too much of a hit on my other devices.
So I determined it was best to keep as is, and just prioritize my laptop when I need the most bandwidth for video calls.
