Quick answers
Can they all stay connected at the same time?
Yes. Up to 10 at once, and your 3 devices fit comfortably inside that.
Does the router count as one device?
It does — one router connection covers the fixed devices on that network, leaving the rest of your slots for desktop app and the others.
Do I set it up again when I travel?
No. Auto-connect stays on the device, so the same setup follows you out the door.
Is this the route for my exact system version?
Yes — every step above comes from the official pages for this exact version.
