Bad Wifi Connection on AC1750
Running Firmware Version V1.0.5.128 (The latest firmware update) and the modem/ router is only about 30ft away from my computer. I get lag spikes in OSRS and CS2 while on both the 2.4ghz band and 5ghz band. I thought after taking out my old Fios router and replacing it with this Nighthawk R6700v3 router would give me a better connection, but it seems that even sometimes watching streams on Twitch, they lag out after about 30 minutes. I hate that I can't play CS2 without constant ping spikes and FPS drops, because it's my favorite game. And I've already tried factory resetting which was when I installed the router and the newest firmware for it. Please help!

Try moving the computer or router closer to each other. 30 feet maybe to far. Try 20 feet?
Try the ISP router in place and then configure the Nighthawk router for AP mode and test.
