On the AC66U, 5GHz radio seemed to work well and I got consistent 105-ish Mbps in the same room as the AP.

(I'm not disputing your experience, but don't want other readers to conclude that 5GHz doesn't work on any of them.)

Is that the expected rate on an AC66U? I'm getting close to 300 Mbps real-world speeds in a very noisy environment on my Unifi lite.

Sorry. I certainly should have been clearer, especially with this crowd. That test was rate-limited by my cable modem. I was on a 100-down package at the time. I did not do a intra-house speed test.

I could be wrong or things may have changed. I think the core issue was the 88u used a different broadcom wireless chipset which has very poor Linux support.
