Better than nothing – Xfinity Review

Xfinity WiFi has a very limited range in my home. Signal strength varies from moment to moment upstairs, with generally good signal downstairs, where the Xfinity gateway is located. The addition of an X-Fi Pod upstairs helps a little, but there are two problems: first, the pod cuts in and out constantly and therefore is quite unreliable. Second, installation of a pod absolutely requires the 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals to be combined, making the former totally useless for cameras and many other IoT devices. I had to install a 3rd party router to get reliable and fully functional WiFi throughout my house. Other complaints I have about Xfinity: cable outages are not uncommon, and service from Xfinity is very poor as well as frustrating. You can spend a lot of time on the phone with people who don’t understand their own system and don’t end up being able to help you. Well, it’s better than nothing and around here there aren’t many alternatives.
