Didn't receive xFi Pods after upgrading to xFi Complete
Hello. What does it take to actually get the free xFi pods when you sign up for xFi Complete? I already had the 800 Mbps plan, but was only receiving 150-200 on my computer with wifi 6, only 6 feet away. I called and upgraded to xFi Complete. Xfinity then shipped me an older modem than I already had, but no pod. The modem they shipped had slower speeds and didn't penetrate walls as well as the modem that the xFinity store had already given me. So, I returned the modem, taking a couple hours out of my day because they wouldn't let me ship it back. The store said the pods would need to be sent from the online help. After Several online chat attempts, and with me being suckered into upgrading again to a 1200 Mbps plan, I still have no pod. I tried chat again today. Half way through, my internet magically went out. I reconnected with my hotspot and was able to get back into the chat. This time a new person assured me they were going to help. They said to please wait a few minutes. So, I've been on the chat for over an hour just today and they just stopped responding.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Hello user_3bvsbh thank you so much for taking the time to relay your experience here on our Xfinity Residential Forums. For the free XFi Pod, you do have both the XFi Advanced Gateway and XFi Complete. When the gateway is activated, the gateway immediately begins a Whole Home Wi-Fi evaluation and sends monthly reports about the signal strength throughout the home. Based on these evaluations is what determines if you're eligible for the free XFi Boost Pod.

When you do qualify, you'll receive an email with a link to order the free pod automatically.

I looked back at the original link you posted that talks about the two different emails that I might receive saying whether I qualify or am denied a pod. I have not received a message with either.
