How to connect my desktop to xfinity gateway but not to xfi pods gen 2
My pc was connected to gate and was using wifi 6. Since w installed XFi Gen 2 pods, it's now connecting to one of the pods, and now reverted back to WiFi 5 since apparently the gen to pods are not wifi 6. Please help as to how I point the pc to connect to gateway instead of the xfi pods

Hi @user_f4223e , thanks for reaching out over Xfinity Forums. Welcome to the community! You bring up a great question. The xFi pods cause an adaptive WiFi network that automatically connects your devices to the best possible access point in the home. In your circumstance, it sounds like the best WiFi connection for the desktop computer is the nearest pod. If you would like to bypass the pod, I would recommend hooking the desktop computer directly to the Xfinity modem using ethernet. Another option is to move the modem closer to the computer or the xFi pod further away to cause the connection to break. How far away is your modem from the desktop computer?
