All 6 Pods show "Connection Point" as Gateway after installing new "White" WiFi 6 Router?

HI ... I just installed the new "white" Comcast Router.  Works fine... Now when i look at "My Network" on xfi and select any of my Pods...  and then read the information... it says "Connection Point" is Gateway... for every one of my 6 Pods.  Does anyone know if this means that every one of my Pods is connecting directly to the Router?   if so, why do i need the pods?  seems that since i am near every one of the pods when using a device, i should just let the device itself connect directly to the Router instead of going to the Pod first?  

thanks...
