To save you going 5 min into the video… He was using an adapter with zigbee2mqtt that was listed as experimental.

Using a coordinator more central to your network can help but as long as a large number of your powered relay devices have a strong connection there isn’t anything wrong with using the USB ones.
The ONLY issue with the USB ones is that it is recommended you put them on an extension cable as the USB port it self can cause interference, and putting a little distance from the antenna helps.
So his solution DOES all that, and is a good solution, but I wouldn’t just go toss your USB stick in the bin…
