Is the antenna in the xFi Pod directional?
I am considering installing xfi pods. My home has cathedral ceilings with cross beams about 15 feet above the floor. I am considering placing a pod on top of one of these crossbeams in an electric outlet that is mounted horizontally there. My question is: Does the Pod use a directional antenna? If so, in this horizontal application will the pod beam my wifi to the moon rather than the devices in my house? Will this be poor/inefficient placement of the pod? The location on top of the crossbeam has coverage benefits because it is centrally located in an open great room.

Hi @Larry_71 , thanks for reaching out over Xfinity Forums. Welcome to the community. You have brought up a great question. Let me say first, we really appreciate your interest in purchasing xFi Pods. To address your first question, the pods are round and do not have a directional antenna. I can't see why it would make a difference if the pod was plugged in horizontal or vertical. While the Xfinity Pods are versatile, they do have some physical limitations that are easy to follow.
I hope this information will help you make an informed choice. Please follow this link for more xFi pod frequent questions https://comca.st/3zkUcqC
