Phones having extremely slow connections while on wifi

Our phones have extreme difficulty loading apps and websites while connected to Xfinity wifi. Once we get off wifi, the apps and sites work fine.

Restarting our phones does nothing, neither does restarting our gateway. Problem still persists.

We experience this on both a brand new iPhone 13 and Samsung S22+, as well as an old Samsung S7.

I've seen similar posts get suggestions to check/move devices between 2.4ghz and 5ghz. We have XFi Pods which I believe means we cannot do that step.

This is extremely frustrating and costing us money by using mobile data. What can be done here?

Hi, @Cmwill88! Welcome to the XFINITY forums page. We appreciate you greatly for taking the time out of your day to reach out to us for help with the internet service concern and for patiently waiting for a response. I use my mobile device on WiFi all the time so I understand the inconvenience that this has caused. I am sorry to learn about this experience. You've knocked on the perfect virtual door for assistance. Let's get this fixed. Can you tell us if you are experiencing this issue on a laptop or mac book as well? When you say XFINITY WiFi, are you connecting your home network or an XFINITY Wifi hot spot?

Thank you for the reply. This is primarily affecting our phones and is happening on our home network, not a hot spot.

It is my pleasure to serve my XFINITY family members, @Cmwill88. At Comcast, we strive in ensuring that you recieve the services that you pay for. We will do all that we can to get your home network working correctly. Range and coverage can be negatively impacted by many external factors such as house size, construction material, and interference material. Can you confirm if you are experiencing the same internet service issues while in close range to the modem?

Yes, it happens everywhere in our home, even when we are in close proximity to the main gateway.

Thanks for confirming that for me, @Cmwill88! What I would like to do from here is pull up the account and take a look at what's going on.

So, your phones are probably connecting to the least congested band in your home, which apparently happens to be the 2.4 GHz band.  As long as you have pods, you will have to live with it.  Your pods see your phones as having a lower priority; it's something you cannot change.  You could buy your own hardware; that way you will have control over your network instead of being at the mercy of engineers at xfinity.

Wanted to update this thread. The issue seemingly fixed itself. However, I was out of town for a week earlier this month. Phone worked fine on hotel wifi. Since returning home, though, the issue has come back while on home wifi. Again, mobile data loads just fine.

Could this issue be with the Xfinity Pods, as inferred by the poster above? This issue is very frustrating.

@Cmwill88, Have you tried to unplug your pods and see if your connection improves?
