Ethernet Wired Backbone on xFi ?
Hello,
I was wondering if xFi has ethernet wired backbone support on any of it's modem/router products? I have a room in detached garage that has wired connectivity to main router and was hoping to leverage wired backbone for extended wifi service. Amplifi routers have this feature/option and was hoping same existed for xFi.
Thanks,

Greetings, @user_862717! I hope your week has been treating you well. Thanks so much for taking a moment out of your busy day to leave a post on our community forum.
Are you referring to our Xfinity xFi Pods+ Mesh WiFi System, or our xFi Advanced Gateways? I know that our 1st generation pods all had a single Ethernet port, and our 2nd gen pods have two Ethernet ports, but I think those are only designed to provide a wired connection to an already (mesh) connected pod.
Can you please tell me a little more about what you were wanting to do? It sounds like your garage is connected to your main router via Ethernet right now, and you wanted to have a WiFi backup, is that correct?

@XfinityJamesC thanks for the response! I have xFi Advanced Gateway with one xFi Pod attached. Unfortunately the pods aren't, as of yet, helping me with wifi speeds to the detached garage area. So yes, I would like to take advantage of the ethernet drop in the garage area to extend wifi range out there. Hopefully I can post this link, but if you search for "Enable Ethernet Wired Backhaul" you should find following link which hopefully explains what I'm looking for better than I can explain it: How to Enable Ethernet Wired Backhaul – AmpliFi It's a fantastic feature...hoping xFi supports it in some capacity?
