We have about 5000. The router is in the basement with the first satellite on the main floor. So way more than 30 feet! The plug in is on the 3rd floor in the master again more than 30 feet. All my devices with the exception of the tv in the basement and the tv on the main floor are connected to the first satellite. Nothing is connected to the plug in in the bedroom except my wifes cell phone! I cant figure out why the master tv and google mini and any other devices wouldn’t be pulling off the plug in to have a stronger faster signal.
