Internet browsing is better than before with 5ghz upgrade, but gaming has network interruptions.

There is no such thing as a 'gaming router,' it is just a decent router. Check for interference in your area and change the router's band to an open one using Netgear Genie.

Could you tell me your router, and the range between it, and I would also recommend getting a different wifi adapter, but tell me your router and I can help you much better

By network interruptions I mean the game (Call of Duty) will lag so that I move but no one else, then a few seconds later it goes back to normal and I might have died lol.

I could come in teamviewer or skype and help you setup that asus router, because I am a pretty good expert for ASUS routers and the Netgear ORBI Systems, but I would try the adapter first, and make sure to install proper drivers!

 

 and I recommend buying this, https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Wireless-Adapter-Archer-T2U/dp/B00JBJ6VG8/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1482112602&sr=8-12&keywords=tp%2Blink%2Bwireless%2Badapter&th=1

I got yours, and it still lags in games. Although I tried moving my PC closer to the router and it went down, but it was still there.
