Did you reset and reconfigure the router after the upgrade? It may be running on settings designed for the old Internet service.
If I hook my computer directly to the new new modem I get close to 1GHZ.

Wi-Fi much slower than expected.
Only you know what speeds you "expect" – ignore the marketing guff – but in general these will be a lot lower than the Internet speed. The wifi clients fix the wifi speed, not the router or the Internet connection.

I see no attachment. Not "white" can be a sign of hardware failure or a dying power adapter.
Be warned that your R6400V2 is based on a device first sold in 2015 and was never an "advanced" router. It was launched in an era when Gb Internet was almost unknown.
