I'd try a different dedicated router. Modem/router combos are notoriously awful, so you don't have a fair comparison there.

Just transferred some music from phone to pc to check. .07Mbps lolWhat are your internal transfer speeds like? Copying a file from one computer to another of a decent size?
Already did, on 2.4GHz there's lots of overlapping but it is alone on channel 4. It's clean on 5GHz, no overlapping at all.download wifi analyzer for your phone and see how many other networks are interfering with yours
I'm not using that, I'm using a Netgear R6250 Dual-band 802.11ac router. It is right next to the modem, I should look into whether that wifi can be turned off
I know. The 2.4GHz band is just way too populated. I'm in an apartment building and every apartment has their own wifi. The 5GHz band only has 2 or 3 other networks, so I can find a channel that completely isolates ours. I've proven this with speedtests taken in the same spot one after another; 5GHz resulted in great speeds of 75+Mbps while 2.4GHz only peaks around 5Mbps.
Earlier in the thread I mentioned that I had a nicer PCI-e 802.11ac adapter, but when I installed it I learned that EVERY PCI slot except the one housing my video card was busted. They give power but nothing plugged into them is detected by Windows.
