The devies I am using is an Ipad Pro, Iphone10, A new Acer R13 Chromebook, and a New samsung Note phone. All are capable of fast wifi. I have been on other peoples wifi with these devices and the wifi is showing at a much faster speed. I did a speed test on my Nvidia shield using a ethernet cable and it is 142mbps.

Well the 3700 is a 300Mbps x 300Mpbs using N600 WiFi Transmitters/Receivers (Tx/Rx)—
2x2 (2.4GHz) + 2x2 (5GHz) antenna configuration. Most newer devices are 4x4 which allow for more speeds.Though I believe you should be able to get around 130-150Mbps on wireless speeds tests.
Has a factory reset been performed on the modem and setup from scratch. Go in and use default SSID and wifi settings and set a new PW, then do some checking with your wireless speeds.
Any other feature settings under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Advanced wireless? If you see WMM enable, this needs to be enabled. I don't know if you'll see beamforming or smart connect. This modem maybe pre release to those features.
