Here's what was happening:

This problem has been going on for months, I made a previous thread about it but it died.
Essentially it's not the adapters fault, probably not the router's fault, and points to a networking problem with my machine.
At this current point in time I can no longer access the internet unless I plug an ethernet directly into the Router/Modem.

Things I've Tried:

• Ran a crap ton of CMD commands concernin netsh, ipconfig, you name it.
• Used a different adapter, same result.
• Updated Drivers and Adapter Drivers.
• Used adapter on different computer, worked fine.

List of things I've done goes on and on honestly check my previous thread, you don't have to I'm just really desperate at this point.
I've reinstalled my entire Windows 10 Pro with a clean drive which was the last resort and I'm still having the problem.
I've tried some new things and I've accessed Window's Event logs. I'm not seeing anything with the adapter other than me installing and reinstalling the drivers for it.
However in Window's System Event Logs I see warnings every time it disconnects:
Name resolution for the name api.twitter.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.

I've tried Restarting DNS Client in services but it's grayed out. So I went into regedit and changed the binary to Disabled on startup, restarted, changed it back to automatic, and then restarted again. During those restarts options to restart the DNS Client were still grayed out... After those restarts I can't even connect to the internet anymore. Windows claims it's connected but I can't ping my router and obviously can't access the web... DNS Client is still running and I know I didn't break anything. There's been some issues with the router with other machines but never ever this bad and it's only happening to this local machine. I'm at the point where I'm just going to sell this PC and wait until I can afford another one since the motherboard may just be too old. Here's my specs:
GTX 1070
i7-3770k
ASUS Extreme z77
16GB DDR3
Windows 10 Pro (Licensed)
Brand New SSDs by ADATA and a 2TB WD Drive for Games.
Wifi Adapter: "Techkey" Realtek 8812BU Wireless LAN 802.11ac USB

and what dns server are you using?
using vpn?

I always get nervous when people say they ran a crap ton of commands, probably with very little knowledge of what they actually do AND messed about with the registry........ Thought about reinstalling the OS and starting again? Maybe get a better adapter? There is nothing about the spec of your machine that should stop networking from working except a cheap "Techkey" adapter which sounds like pure Chinesium rubbish!!

Not using a vpn, whatever Windows 10 Defaults to is what DNS I'm using since it's literally a fresh install.

I only put in commands that basically flushed cache and reset my ip, which is the same thing I can do in Realtek Utility application. Those commands legitimately worked for the people who had the same problem as me. I also used a NETGEAR adapter that cost well over 50 dollars and it yielded the same result, I also tried the Techkey adapter on multiple other machines such as 4, not one, but 4 of my project laptops that use Windows 10 and Linux, all of which when used over a 24+ hour period did not show any signs of the previous problems my main computer does. I even played online games on them and nothing out of the ordinary happened with the adapters. Again, in the Windows Event Logs there's no logs concerning the adapter but there's warning logs concerning the DNS Client. I believe the specs of my PC are relevant since my Motherboard is nearing 7 years old and I've swapped a lot of hardware in and out of it aswell as a lot of unintended shutdowns due to power outages (I live up North in America so powerlines don't run under ground but rather above ground and be knocked down by wind).

I guess at this point I'll either sell the PC or continue my testing/diagnosis by taking my entire PC to someone's house on a completely different network, maybe then I'll pin point it to being a router issue or a PC issue, and if it's a PC issue I'll strip the PC and get a new one.

I have thought about reinstalling the OS but I'm afraid it will yield the same result, I mean I did a very clean install I didn't just click factory reset in Windows options I literally wiped that entire hard drive clean and slapped a Windows Media Installation back onto it. I partitioned it and everything, logic would tell me the same thing would happen if I reinstalled it. I've seen some threads talking about Windows 10 1900 series updates that are breaking people's wifi adapters no matter the brand, that's another theory for another time but I'm sure if I had Linux or Windows 7 running on here nothing bad would've happened in the first place.
