If this Linksys Powerline adapter is plugged into a 2-plug outlet, is there still enough room to use the other outlet plug?

Depends on the other plug. I have the powerline adapter in the bottom plug and a slim two prong plug for my wifi adapter in the top plug.
1436201
Yes; however, it depends on the orientation of the plug. In my case, the ground is on top so I had to invert the adapter with the Ethernet cable plugging in from the top. I had to get creative but it is doable.

As indicated by others it, of course, depends on the plug. If looks don't matter to you I have noted that there is no discernable performance drop if one uses a one-foot extension cord as one can buy here on Amazon. Do a search for "short extension cord". The Generic units are inexpensive (5 for less than $9) and work well.
1436203
Yes, for the most part. But if the additional plug is particularly large it may not fit.

You can plug in a two prong plug easily, but a three prong plug may be a no go.

As long as the grounding pin fits on the side of the adapter when you plug the cord in, you don't need another adapter. It's safe to have the grounding pin exposed.Here is a related discussion:http://www.ricksteves.com/graffiti/helpline/index.cfm?topic=24128

I was bale to enclose one power cable cord and a LAN/ethernet cable. You can say two ethernet cords or two power cable cords can fit in snugly. That should be it. You may find it difficult snapping on the cover for any more cables. They should make it wider to receive more than two cables.

If they are connected within the same room(which will be connected to same circuit/breaker) is exceptional. If it's connected in different rooms, connection is still good. You would need 2 of these in order to make it work. 1 will be connected to your modem or router and the other will be where ever you need internet connection. Keep in mind where ever you use them, the outlets will have to be within the same breaker box. Some houses or commercial buildings may have more than one breaker box, in this case will not work if on 2 separate breaker boxes. I have mine set about 60 yards apart and still get good connection. Think the further you go connection will be weaker. There is a connection strength indicator on these powerline adapters. Green is good, orange is okay, red is slow. If you do get these, I suggest trying different outlets to get the best connection. It's a whole lot better than wireless. Also plug straight to an outlet and not a power strip or surge protected. It was slow down your connection by 70%.

No. Powerline adapters are for wired access. What will help is a wireless extender. A variety is available on Amazon.

It was a tight fit, but I was able to insert a 3 pronged plug into the second wall outlet. A 2 pronged plug should fit nicely.

It accommodates two CAT-5 Ethernet cables with ease. I imagine it would accommodate a single heavy-gauge power cord instead, but I'm not certain. (I left the item behind when I moved house.)

Hi J. BolusIt is not recommended to put a Linksys Powerline device behind a powerstrip or surge protector. Although there have been users that were able to successfully make it work behind surge protectors, we still recommend plugging Powerline adapters directly into a power outlet.

Yes it can but you might lose other outlets on the power strip because of its size.

Yes, you can use the Powerline adapters to connect the router and the modem which are both on separate locations.

It's hard to say because there are different sized plugs. But I would say probably not. There isn't actually a whole lot of space in there. For my surge protector I could only use one plug since there wasn't enough space for two. You might get away with it if the plug takes up 2 plugsworth of space, but I wouldn't count in it. The covers themselves are pretty cheap so it wouldn't hurt to try it. I do know this, if the cords for, it keeps the kids out of it 100%!Hope that helps a bit :)

No. What you plug to the wall looks exactly like what you would plug into the outlet. It just allows you to plug 3 things on this adaptor versus one on the wall.

It would depend on what you want to plug into the top socket, as bigger plugs might not fit, but no it doesn't officially take up both sockets (I can plug two prong plugs in the top socket but not bulky three prongs)

The plug-in is about 3 inches long and about 1 inch wide. If you can't plug it in on an end, it will probably cover 2 or 3 other plugs. My surge suppressor has slots that are sideways, so it is not an issue.

Also, make sure the power cord is properly seated into the adapter. Since the power cord is separate, it may not be pushed in all the way.

The plug is about 2 and 1/2 inches, so yes, it would over lap 2 outlets. I have mine on the bottom outlet and works just fine. listening to it now.

Yes. It probably would take up a few slots however as it's wider than a single plug.
