2600ac wifi Getting worse

What are some general troubleshooting steps when your router is not performing like it used to? I have a 2600 AC router. Our Wi-Fi connection speeds over the past month have gotten pretty bad whereas before they were always really good.

What's changed? If the router's not changed then it could be client updates, or interference from other WiFi networks. Have you any domestic appliance changes?

I would use WiFi Explorer on Mac or something similar on Windows. See what's going on in the wireless environment.

New washer/dryer in room with router. I’ll have to check if that has wifi. Other than that pretty status quo.

Edit: i checked and my model washer does have wifi. Could that actually impact the AP for the router? Seems strange. Often really slow internet at night. But generally much worse everywhere around the house on various devices. But not my wired laptop in my office.
