WiFi Coverage and Slow Internet Speed in Bedroom
Hi,
We currently have Xfinity Internet service at our home, and the WiFi works well in most areas of the house. However, the WiFi coverage in my bedroom is quite weak, and I consistently get much slower speeds there than in other parts of the house.
Could you please help us check whether this is a WiFi coverage issue and advise what can be done to improve the connection in my room? I would also like to know whether our current equipment and plan qualify for an Xfinity WiFi Extender or any other coverage solution.
Please let me know if you need the account details, service address, or speed-test results.
Thank you,
[Edited: "Personal Information"]

There are other options. Google for WiFi repeaters / range extenders, WiFi mesh systems / pods, powerline ethernet adapters, MoCA adapters. Good luck !

Greetings, @user_94s9kq! I hope your week has been treating you well. Thanks so much for taking a moment out of your busy day to leave a post on our community forum about this Wi-Fi range issue. You have definitely come to the right place for assistance.
Thank you for helping with this one, @EG! That is exactly where I would start with something like this. I actually had an identical situation in my previous house. We had great coverage everywhere, except for our bedroom. In fact, the Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspot from my neighbor's house usually had a stronger signal than my own router, whenever I was in that room. I ended up putting a Wi-Fi Boost Pod (https://www.xfinity.com/learn/internet-service/wifi/wifi-extender) in my kitchen, and that solved the problem immediately. If you are currently using an Advanced xFi Gateway, that would be my first recommendation, but if you have your own router, I would look for an extender from the same brand. They always tend to work better together.
