If you just had the Xfinity Gateway, and no Pods, you can have different network names and passphrases on each Wi-Fi band and kinda sorta set up a guest network that way.

With Pods installed, you lose the ability to separate the different Wi-Fi bands.  You have a single network name and passphrase on all bands, Band Steering is enabled, and the whole thing operates as a single Wi-Fi network.

Your other option is to connect a separate Wi-Fi access point (or Wi-Fi router configured as an AP) to your Gateway to support a  guest network.
