How does the wifi pods work?
Here's the FAQ about Ignite WiFi Pods: https://www.rogers.com/support/internet/ignite-wifi-pods
If the Ignite Gateway alone does not provide sufficient Wi-Fi coverage for your home, a Pod will enable you to expand Wi-Fi coverage.
The current 2nd generation Pods have three Wi-Fi radios -- two radios (working in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands) that provide connectivity for devices and another 5 GHz radio that is used to connect the Pod wirelessly to the Gateway. If you have Wi-Fi dead zones in your home, you expand coverage by finding an intermediate location where you can place a Pod such that it still has good connectivity to the Gateway and can also provide Wi-Fi coverage to the dead zones as well. The Pod runs software that allows it to connect to the Gateway, relay traffic between the devices and the gateway, and also work with the gateway to load-balance device connections. It also enables devices (that support the 802.11k/v/r protocols) to maintain Wi-Fi connectivity when your roam throughout your home.
Once Pods are installed in optimal locations, you can pretty much forget that they are there, and you can manage your Wi-Fi network with the Ignite HomeConnect app,
