“I wanted to verify that this system can only handle 5 units total, 1 main router and 4 "points", also how far away can a point be from the main router? I want one in my barn/shop and that would be about 150 feet between that point and the main router”

150 feet may be at the absolute outer range of what these can accommodate from what I have observed. I have a 3 unit system and each device is only 1 floor apart in a slightly staggered fashion. When I move them more than maybe 50 feet from each other there is a noticeable drop off in signal strength. The real question is will that distance you mention be behind thick walls and what kind of other obstacles would be present.

Also, as a general rule, points work best when they’re no more than two rooms away from each other. For example, if the far end of your house has weak Wi-Fi, don’t put a Wifi point in that exact spot. Instead, put it part way in that direction. Try to place it in an elevated position like on a shelf. This link can help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7182840
