extend my dual ssid network
I have the Xfinity gateway router split with 1 ssid for 2.4 and 1 for 5ghz.
I need to add a extender for my weak network reception for my 2.5 ghz outside lighting.
does xfinity have a extender?

Yes, but it can't be used when Wifi bands are split. See https://www.xfinity.com/hub/internet/home-network-wifi-extenders and https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/xfi-pods-faqs:

@user_kpw7q2 Hi!! Thanks for reaching out to us If you've separated your WiFi into distinct 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, you do have options to extend the 2.4 GHz signal for devices like outdoor lighting that may be on the edge of your coverage area.
Xfinity does offer xFi Pods, which are designed to extend WiFi coverage throughout your home. However, they work best when your gateway is using a single WiFi network name (SSID) managed through xFi. Since you've split your bands into separate SSIDs, compatibility and performance can vary. We do have our Xfinity Pro Gateway which can also help with coverage areas.

@XfinityKam
Question please. It is my understanding that the Xfinity pods will not function at all if the gateway device is in bridge mode. Am I wrong ?
