What are Rogers Xfinity WiFi Boost Pods and how do they work?

Rogers Xfinity WiFi Boost Pods are an advanced WiFi system you can plug into different electrical outlets in your home to extend your WiFi coverage. They connect wirelessly to the Rogers Xfinity Gateway for an even stronger, faster connection in the hardest-to-reach places in and around your home.

Pods work together with your gateway to create a single WiFi network with multiple access points and use smart mesh WiFi technology to get around sources of signal interference. They learn and adapt to how you use your Internet to automatically give you your best connection.

Why Rogers Xfinity WiFi Boost Pod extenders might be right for you

The Rogers Xfinity Gateways deliver strong WiFi throughout your home, but factors like modem placement, device capabilities, and even building materials can affect signal strength.

Rogers Xfinity WiFi Boost Pod extenders will extend your WiFi coverage to hard-to-reach areas, so you can connect more devices wherever you need. You might consider adding WiFi Boost Pods if:

  • Your gateway modem isn’t in a central, open location.
  • You have a large home or unique layout needing flexible coverage.
  • You want better WiFi near your backyard, balcony, garage, or workshop. Pods are certified for indoor use only but may improve outdoor coverage if placed near windows or doors.
  • You’d like to connect a gaming console or computer directly to a pod’s ethernet port.

Rogers Xfinity WiFi Boost Pod extenders will not increase your internet speed, they simply help you connect in areas where your home’s WiFi signal is weak.

How do I get started?

Rogers Xfinity WiFi Boost Pods work exclusively with the Rogers Xfinity Gateway and can be added to Rogers Xfinity Plans and Rogers Xfinity bundles.

Depending on your home, you may want: 

  • 2 pods or more: Ideal for extending WiFi outdoors or for improving coverage in homes with 5+ bedrooms. 

  • 1 pod: Great for improving WiFi coverage in 1- to 2-storey homes with 3–4 bedrooms.
