Ubiquiti UAP non GigE speed?

So I'm looking at setting up a pfSense router with a Ubiquiti UAP wireless access point. One thing I haven't found much info on is the fact that the base models don't even use GigE ports to connect to the router. So the wireless speeds are 300+mbps but the max ethernet speed is 100mbps? That means that any time a wireless device is communicating with a wired device, such as a NAS, it will only run at 100mbps? I plan to have various laptops and phones + tablets accessing the NAS and internet (80mbps) from a single AP. Won't the 100mbps be a major bottle neck? It seems like the only option is to get the pro version which is more than twice as much ~$60 -> ~$200+ but has GigE ports. Is this not a major problem? Googling doesn't show anyone really talking about this despite the rave reviews for the device itself. Am I missing something? Why are people happy with such a nice wireless AP running at 100mbps?

 

 

Thanks.
