I have all the right equipment and services, but I do not see the option to boost a device in the xfinity app.

Well, what do ya' know.... I wonder exactly how it works... Another marketing gimmick ?? Does it boost the gateway's WiFi RF power output, or is it a QoS / packet scheduler type function, or both ?? Thanks @BruceW !

Hello @matrixfifteen. I have a link with the eligibility details and steps for how to receive that boost at https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/wifi-boost-guarantee.
To be eligible for Wi-Fi Boost Guarantee, you’ll need to:
Subscribe to Xfinity Internet in an eligible area with Gig, Gigabit Extra or Gigabit x2 speed plans.*
Lease a compatible gateway.
Download and activate the Xfinity app.
Have an account that’s in good standing.
*Customers who only receive Xfinity services through bulk or similar arrangements through which services are paid by a third party are not eligible for the WiFi Boost Guarantee unless such customers have established individually billed accounts and satisfy the above-referenced eligibility requirements.
If you meet those details can you try the steps starting with the Network health check?
