Walkthrough
Utility poles are introduced during Bleak Beach’s restoration. Wireless transmitters become craftable after befriending Porygon in Sparkling Skylands and accepting its request; their smaller block can transmit through objects.
Lay out the chain from generator to device and inspect gaps. The reported maximum is ten blocks from a transmitter to a device or generator and fifteen between transmitters. Count both horizontal axes for a diagonal, and account for the reported five-block vertical limit at a connection.
Each pole or transmitter connects to at most 20 things and directly to one generator. Connected networks can carry power from multiple sources. A switch controls the objects directly connected to it; the area limit is 256 working transmitters.

Troubleshooting
Situation
What to check
A diagonal connection fails
Count horizontal and vertical separation rather than measuring straight-line distance.
A new transmitter does nothing
Check distance, its connection count and the 256-transmitter area limit.
