can xfinity pods relay messages?

Signal in general.  I want to extend my wifi range in one direction:

Router------->PodA------->PodB------>MyLaptop/Iphone

However from my testing it seems that every Pod connects directly to the Router:

Router-------->PodA----MyLaptop/Iphone

          I-------->PodB----MyLaptop/Iphone

Which limits extending the maximum range?

user_2674e6 Thank you for explaining the connection ask. The pods create a mesh network, each pod would connect back to the gateway, it would not relay the signal from another pod. I understand your need to expand the network, it may not work out for you, but you can hardwire the pods back to the gateway to help ensure a better signal in your furthest areas. 

Thanks, that confirms what I had noticed when testing different pod positions. So how does one hardwire a pod bacxk to the gateway?  Would that be done by coonecting on of the 2 internet cable slots on the pod back to the gateway router? Thanks again

Only their Gen 2 pods support hardwire via ethernet backhaul to the gateway. The Gen1 pods do not.
