Do you guys understand what I’m trying to say
I think I understand.
Will try to answer, without knowing the location and the exact parameters.
The mesh system that you got offered will most likely work (I am 99.5% sure).
I GUESS it won't be 'cheap' (or better: more expensive than a good extender, I am 99.5% sure).
A mesh system with 3 pods for a place with a 30ft distance between router and receiver is PROBABLY much more than needed (unless you have radiation protective led covered walls in between).
But if you don't mind the costs, go and get it.
If you want the most cost effective solution, try a good extender, half way between the router and your problematic devices.
I am 90% sure this will be sufficient.
If you want to analyze the situation in more detail, before deciding:
Stand half way (15ft) apart from your router, on the way to the final 30ft location, with your phone, iPad and (if any possible) with your Apple TV. Make sure SOME of the obstacles that you mentioned (walls) are in between this position and the router (no visual contact to the router, this would make any finding pointless).
If the signal is strong and your connection seems trouble-free, then a solution with an extender (installed at this 15ft distanced location where you stood testing your devices) will almost for sure be sufficient.
95% certainty.
