xFi Pods unable to provide appropriate speeds to the entire house.

@flatlander3​ Yikes. Well that's terrible.

@user_33312b​  Well, it's what you got. 

You can download a free wifi scanner like Acrylic home wifi.   Do a site survey.  Draw a floor plan of your house, and measure signals and speed.  Then move some stuff and do it again.  Perhaps you can get something acceptable, but it might not help you out with multiple users.

Commercial gear with access points and a wireless controller is the best.  Also really expensive.  Do your own research on mesh networks.  Some are better than others.  If it's a single point, adding a cheap access point or cheap wifi router to your gateway with an Ethernet cable may work for you.  WiFi repeaters aren't great for speed.  MoCA or powerline can work, although I'd do something else. 

Lots of options.

@flatlander3​ Any recommendations for an access point?

@user_33312b​ Product endorsement?  Meh.  Consumer gear is junk.  Try not to go on the hook for it for very much money.  All you are looking to do is put a radio in range of a room, absolutely as close as you can to the device you are using for a good signal, so try not to spend more than $25 on it.  Make sure you set a unique SSID so you know what you are connecting to.  Some are PoE (power over Ethernet) so make sure it comes with a power adapter.

There are plenty on amazon, or even find a dusty discontinued one at a wally world or menards.

Remember, there's a wide selection of radios and they speak different versions of the 802.11 spec.  It also depends on what you are trying to connect, and that has to speak the same specification as your access point. If you can talk to a pod, you are probably using 802.11ac.  Some more info:
