C3700 5G band works at 200mbs but not 433mbps
Using EX3700 as an access point connected by ethernet to C3700 modem/router. The EX3700 5g band seems to work if I set the EX3700 to 200mbs but not at 433mbs. At the higher speed, it usually dpe...

The EX3700 is configured as an access point. I think the Wi-Fi speed of the C3700 is completely extraneous. I only included that information because I'd like to know why 300mbs is not offered as an option on the EX3700.
The EX3700 supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi. The 433 Mbps setting uses a modulation scheme (256-QAM) in conjunction with an 80 MHz wide channel. The 200 Mbps setting uses the same modulation scheme except with a 40 MHz wide channel. There is no 300 Mbps setting because there is no corresponding modulation scheme.
The C3700 supports 802.11n Wi-Fi. 300 Mbps uses 64-QAM with a 40 MHz channel. AFAIK, there is no 200 Mbps setting. It should be 145 Mbps (technically 144.4 Mbps). This is 64-QAM with a 20 MHz channel.
I know this doesn't help but I have a similar problem with my model R7000 nighthawk router I believe?! I'm connected to the web via satellite through Hugh's Net but it's slower than dial-up?! I've called myself setting it up correctly online even using specified settings! Any ideas on that?!
