r6400v2 slow wifi
I am experiencing very slow wifi speeds from my R6400v2. I have 500mbps download speed and get at least that while plugged into the LAN port on the router, but get much slower over wifi. Even standin...
I forgot to mention, that this is a relatively new issue I've been dealing with. I used to get excellent wifi speeds from it. I understand that the wifi speeds will be slower than LAN speeds, but I used to get around 450 from wifi anywhere in my house.

You don't say what your wifi clients are but that smells more like a measurement issue than real wifi speeds.
Many devices won't do 450 Mbps, especially on 2.4 GHz, which is what you are likely to see at 30 feet away. The 60-70 Mbps you mentioned earlier sounds about right for many clients.
It might be worth a bit of background reading.
