First gen Xfinity pods

Megacabcummins — you may be able to improve both range and reliability by using a different Wi-Fi band, assuming your devices support it. Current Xfinity xFi gateways are multi-band (2.4, 5, and 6 GHz) and normally choose the best band automatically when a device connects.

If your device is connecting on 5 or 6 GHz, the signal can become spotty at longer distances. Higher bands deliver faster speeds but have much shorter range. For most modern devices on Xfinity, 5 GHz is the sweet spot and can realistically deliver close to 1 Gbps if your internet plan supports it.

If you force the router to use 2.4 GHz only, you’ll get greater range at the expense of speed. If that still doesn’t solve the issue and you’re using an Xfinity gateway, adding Xfinity Pods (extenders) is the next best option.

@user_uj551v​ my longest distance is to my Orbi and I think that's 35'. My new PC and it's wifi antennae are 18' or so with two walls separating them. I will try the different HZ like you suggested if I can. LOL answering your own post is awesome :)

If you continue running into those issues we would also be happy to look further into that from our end. 

@XfinityJohnG​ can I just message you so I don't clog up user_uj551v's post?
