What is the brand and model # of the wifi adapter in this laptop?
You'll not see anything near 700Mpbs on 5Ghz AC over wireless. Wireless does not handle or perform the same as wired ethernet.

In review of the previous post comments . My Laptop, at work, will connect at wireless speeds in excess of 500mbps. The c7000v2 is supposed to broadcast at wireless speeds of 1200 mbps. I have a 800mbps service from Xfinity. Not sure what you are getting at.

If you factory reset the modem and setup from scratch, leaving wifi settings at default, what does the wifi adapter in this laptop connect at? Be sure any Smart Connect, Beamforming and MIMO features are enabled as well.
Don't enable any Access Controls, Armor, SPC or Traffic Meter.You can try setting the channels to say 48 or 149 on 5Ghz and see.
Be sure the wifi adapter drivers are up to date on this laptop as well.
