The router is upstairs and the I have one satellite upstairs and one downstairs. Whenever I log into the Orbi mobile app I hardly ever see any of my devices connected to the satellites. Is this common and if not, how do you resolve it.
Also, I have read whenever we need to reboot the router, we should unplug the satellites, reboot the router first, and then reconnect the satellites. Is this the proper way to rebooting the mesh networking system or is there a more appropriate way?
Last question is adding another satellite overkill? I have a pretty good size property lot and just want to ensure I can get good coverage to the entire property.

I turned the power output to 50% and that seems to have helped with a more steady wifi connection with our devices.

Ok, go with it.
Also my typo in my first post should read "30 feet". Sorry about that.
