But what proportion of Rx/Tx rate should I expect as actual internet speed?
I'd say its almost unpredictable. So many different factors go into it...you'll get whatever the environment in your home allows you to get.
We've got a Hyperoptic outage at the moment but once its back up (probably later) i'll run some speed tests from a variety of devices and distances from APs.

Ta. Although you don't need to now!
Just worked out why desktop was getting 802.11ac not ax speeds - as a Hackintosh it only supports ac. Restarted it as Windows 10 and I've got ax now. Did a speedtest, got 560mb/s ish which is the fastest I've seen so far.
Lazily and stupidly I've been using the Google speedtest that comes up if you google broadband speed test.
Just tried broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk - 756mb/s. Speedtest.net - 814mb/s.
tl;dr - I'm a silly sausage. But I'm glad my U6 Lite is behaving!

Sorry bit misleading to say advertised speed - advertised speed is up to 1.5 Gb/s, my understanding is that you could reasonably expect to see half of that, so 750 Mb/s.
However, people who seem to know what they're on about on the UniFi forums reckon you should be able to get around 800-900Mb/s ish if the stars are all in alignment.
You may be on to something though because these are my rates:
Desktop:
Rx Rate 866 Mbps
Tx Rate 866 Mbps
Pixel 6:
Rx Rate 1.2 Gbps
Tx Rate 1.2 Gbps
I'm wondering if the issue is actually my devices - 550Mb/s may be perfectly decent for a Pixel 6 even on WiFi 6 and those desktop rates are with the antenna just over a metre from the AP. But what proportion of Rx/Tx rate should I expect as actual internet speed?
