That only gets rid of your extensions being the issue. Your issue is one of these.
 
 

Follow the line of connection. Some ISP routers I used hijack DNS port and use their own. Your issue might be on the router side or the ISP side. Also disable your extensions first, those can also impact which DNS your browser uses.
Your PC > Router > Modem > ISP

Update:

Tested 5Ghz which I had originally turned off because I knew it doesn't go through walls very well and the layout of our house has like MULTIPLE walls just to get to the living room or kitchen so I figured it'd be pointless and sure enough.. I connected the smart TV just to run some speed tests and yea like 30-40Mbps compared to the 50 sometimes 60ish on 2.4 so unless maybe it'd still be better to run on the 5Ghz cause less interference or none in this matter since I can't see any other 5G networks in my area according to the WiFi Analyzer app.
 

A. I don't see anything in my router that says radios except for Enable Wireless Router Radio for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz respectively.
B. I don't see anything in the router that says channel width either.. and yes the broadcasting power is at 100%

Those are the only 2 questions I have.. am I missing something or does the NetGear R6400v2 not show this information? and I wanted to say thanks for your reply and your time. With all the responses and replies it really just seems like it's an AP issue.. The router isn't in the best place and it wasn't an issue when we 1st moved into the house like 10-12 years ago because only thing that needed internet was 2 desktop PC's and then a few cell phones but obviously that's changed lol. 

I have CCNA, but this is absolutely nothing to do with Cisco networking, and even with my enterprise wifi knowledge in Cisco & Ruckus and their network controllers, thats still nothing to do with your issue with average consumer gear.....
 
If you want a certified network 'expert' you should also be already providing technical information
 
- How are all your devices connected. 
- How many radios does your AP have, and what protocol of radios and their power rating
- What protocol/frequency are your devices connected at
- What does the spectrum analysis look like, and what are some of the dB ratings on some of your connected devices
- Do you have a floorplan of the premises, the construction material, etc...to overlay the expected coverage of your radios?
- What sort of throughput readings have you run from your wireless devices, such as a speedtest or iperf to a wired device. 
- What sort of throughput is required, how many devices are streaming simulatenously and what bandwidth is required for those streams
 
 
I can tell you a few things from my own experiences at home with consumer gear and configuring various Wifi setups with Netgear, TP-Link, Asus and mesh setups with Netgear and Ubiquiti
 
- Your router supports 3x3 MIMO, so make sure your channel width is set to the max in your router configuration e.g 80Mhz. Also check broadcasting power is turned up. 
- Smart TV's, many of the cheaper ones even if theyre UHD still only use 2.4Ghz, so they may skip if you're trying to push 4K netflix through them. Check what wireless standard theyre connected at. If they're far from the router then they may be limited in speed. As an example Series 6 & 7 Samsungs dont support 5Ghz. 
- Interference from other home networks can be a problem so use a spectrum analyser to check what channels theyre using and try adjusting your wifi to use different channels. Lower channels are better for compatibility especially with 5Ghz (e.g channel 36-48). 
- Most cheaper consumer units are really only good for apartments and 2-3 bedroom smaller homes. You typically need at  least a second AP or a mesh for larger 3-4 bedroom homes. 
 
If you have a larger home or changing the above doesnt work then:
You could try running a single stronger unit like a ASUS RT-AC5300.
You could switch to a mesh system like Netgear Orbi, Google Wifi or Unifi UDM + Additional AP setup. 
If you can run an ethernet cable, you could get a standalone AP like a Unifi AP to act like a 'mesh' with your current router by giving them the same SSID & Password. 
 

Not to mention that they apparently don't understand that there is literally no way of making 5GHz cover the entire house, no matter what, since it can barely pass through a single wall. I mean, you can fiddle with the 5GHz-channels all damn day, if you like, but you can't break the laws of physics and make it pass through the walls and cover an entire house. As such, it's pointless to even bother mentioning 5GHz in this context.

If you only have a single WiFi-router for such a large house, of course you're going to have a bad time. A mesh-WiFi is one of the better solutions, but can get somewhat expensive. Ars Technica actually just recently posted a good article on how to cover a building with good WiFi, you could take a look at it and see if it is enough, and then come back here for additional questions and/or help.
 
If you have an Android-phone, I recommend WiFi Analyzer (open-source) at the Play Store for checking which networks are overlapping and the strength of the signal. I use the same app myself and find it very useful.

@LinusTech & other Staff /  Production Members?

I'm super big on the technical side of things and how things work right down to the core. I think it'd be cool if you could produce a video like you did recently with Nvidia on higher refresh rate monitors except this time try to see like what's truly better.. Higher DPI and lower ingame sensitivity or the other way around and what exactly does Polling Rate do? Does it help to have lower polling rates or higher? like I feel like it'd be cool to break this down into somewhat of an exact science and then we'll forever have the real answers as gamers and something people can look to and decide for themselves what they want more.

Break out the cameras and actually track the mouse movements on screen and you could even compare this with different refresh rate monitors? idk.. I feel like there's a lot that goes into it all and just something that'd be cool to see happen. I remember watching a video from some guy who was showing the differences between the high dpi and low sens ingame vs high sens and low dpi and the mouse movement on the screen didn't seem as smooth. I can't remember the way it went but one was smooth and the other was somewhat jagged or just looks weird when he'd zoom in and slow it down. but didn't explain WHY it was happening.

If there's already a good video explaining all of this I'm down for watching it and sorry to make this topic lol, I feel like even if I watch it the production and quality wont be very good which is why I'm asking if Linus or the team could make one

apex is more taxing than most esports
 
granted, this is a different situation (1440p) but it is somewhat analogous.
 
I assumed I would get 165 hz easy (thats my monitor refresh rate)
 
9900k, 2080ti, definitely get 165 hz SOMETIMES(for a while) but its not stable there.  In the action, stuff going on, ill drop as low as 130 fps.
 
I realize these are different setups, but 9900k/2080ti 1440p  ::: 2600/2070S 1080p is probably comparable.
 
Apex is more demanding than most think 

what is the full system specs he's already running?

For that money a 5700 would be better if you can find one around $300.
What CPU does he have though?  Pairing a GPU like that with an old i3 or something wouldn't be a great combo

If it's 60fps you're talking about, RX580 can do it relatively fine for current AAA games.
A 2060 is an overkill really, still expensive for what you're aiming.
You can spend the extra money for another upgrade like cpu or ram.

For the price of a 2060 you can get a 5700, which is a better performer. The 2060 isn't a terrible deal though. It really depends on the price point he's leaning towards and the performance he wants to get, and i guess for these kind of games like a 580 or 590 would be great

I think they will be good, but those rumors kinda sound like a lot of b******* to me.  I assume 10-12 cores max, and no way they can launch a 1080 performing card at that price. I would wait, but don't expect that much

I'm pretty sure AMD 7nm leaks are not true (a 16 core 5GHz CPU for $500???). And since you already have a Z390 motherboard, just get a 9900K.

Just get rid of the security, done. Windows defender is good enough, on top of that malware bytes is good as well.

There are reasons behind it, mine I believe was because my power went out but other things can cause it also

Makes sense and after looking through chat logs on Discord with the rest of the fam I've noticed all my problems were solved after I reseat my memory and running memtest so yea.. hopefully it doesn't come back lol.

thanks for the feedback everyone 

*Naturally. I don't think it's that it wasn't plugged in all the way. I had an issue where my PC would refuse to even boot, and I never touch or move my PC. After a ram reseat it booted up normally. Weird, but that's ram for ya

Reseat your RAM (make sure ts in there good i just fixed a weird issue of my own by pushing the RAM in harder), clear CMOS, make sure your power cables are in all the way... go from there

96 Hz
 
 
And i guess otherwise not that much of a jump

MXL are great mics dude. I have the 990 attached to a nice cheap amazon boom stand. Mine is going into a Toneport UX2 but there are much better interfaces than mine out there now. I got them for free so I can't complain.

As a proud owner of one that does all you have just said myself, yes [:

a 212 Evo will suffice for the i7 8700k at stock, would not overclock it... frankly there even is a reason to yet... you'll get GPU bound even with a 1080 Ti at any display setting above 1080p144hz.
 
Reason why I suggest the locked i7 8700 instead, it is more power than any one needs for a gaming computer but the 65w tdp makes it cooler and silent... overclocking the i7 8700k will cost you more expensive and there will be no performance gain to see outside as mentioned 1080p144hz

It will work, I doubt you will be able to overclock much but stock should be fine 

LMAO!! best reply ever
