extending wifi 300 feet to a dock

I currently have the XB6 Gateway along with 2 Pods that cover my house and yard. However the signal doesn't reach my dock about 300 feet away. Are there options to extend my current Gateway or do I need to completely switch out to a different router/modem mesh network that will reach further? thanks!

user_4k0s45 Hi there! Would it be possible to add another pod near the dock?

I could try adding another pod but since the WiFi signal doesn’t reach the dock I don’t think the Pod would be able to connect to the network. All my neighbors have third party mesh networks and have no issues so I may just have to switch out the entire system.

user_4k0s45 Thank you so much for the response and we are here to help you. Where is the modem placed in the home, do you say it is centrally placed?

This may not work for you, but I had a similar situation. My workshop is about 100' from the back of the house and the wifi wouldn't reach it. I decided to run an underground conduit and pull a Cat 6 cable out and put a wireless access point there. Now I have full wifi out there plus 4 wired ports on the AP. Being it's a dock, you may not have a convenient place to install the AP so it's out of the weather.
