My local Xfinity Store Doesn't have WiFi Extenders
I signed up for a new Xfinity plan with Xfi Complete which is supposed to include an Xfinity Gateway and a WiFi extender. Yesterday, when I went to the local Xfinity store to pick up my equipment, they said they didn’t have the WiFi extender. How can I get one?
I’m paying for 1100 Mbps. The computer by the Gateway gets 980 Mbps, but a new computer in one of the bedrooms is only getting 50 Mbps. I feel like I should get a rebate until the WiFi extender arrives because I’m gettting much less speed than I am paying for.

Hello @user_750ddf, thanks for reaching out on Xfinity Forums. Extenders are typically $120 extra available to purchase. We do have a possibility of a free one with the XFi Complete. How that works is after you activate the service your modem will do a full system scan over the first 14 days to determine if it detects hard to reach rooms or dead zones in the house. If those tests determine a XFi extender is necessary you will receive an email with instructions to redeem one. When did you activate your service?

No acceptable solution provided by Xfinity so far. I sent screenshots from the Xfinity App and the Xfinity Speed Test Website showing that in some areas of my house the WiFi signal is weak to non-existent. They refuse to do anything about it until their modem completes a full system scan over 14 days to determine if it detects hard to reach rooms or dead zones in my house. In the meantime, I am paying for full home coverage by XFi Complete but I'm not receiving it. Not acceptable.
