Will this product work when plugged into a power strip instead of directly into a wall outlet?

No, the pluglink documents say it can prevent it from working or degrade its network performance. So it has to be directly on the wall outlet.

It seems to work better when plugged directly into a wall outlet in my opinion

So far it appears to work, the strip is very close to my computer. Check net gear n150 wifi adapter. The cost of pluglink ?

Yes - works fine for me. In theory it should make it slower and it does A BIT. But not too much

A plain power strip- -no problem as long as the total combined load does not exceed the rating of the UPS. Plugging a surge protector strip is not recommended.

I don't think it would. It seems meant to plug directly into a wall socket and then have a chord plugged into it.

Yes, that's true. If you plug it into a surge protector it will not work properly, if at all.

Look, it will work with power strips and extension cords. But if you can, avoid them as that is what the manufacturer recommends. Use them at you own risk. You will get better performance if you avoid power strip. Personally, I use both and have not had any issues.

The Power-line adapters have to be plugged into the wall jack/ outlet directly. However some might work for a period of time if plugged into power strip, then you would have to find a way to plug them into the wall. also keep in mind, if you have a house that was extended and it has two patch panels for electricity. you will not be able to get the adapters to work. all the best, I love these little guys, they work wonders!

Yes, it works with the power cable pluged to the wall outlet, this also mean it was charging.

Yes, you don't need to plug it into a wall outlet, once you have a powered usb 3.0 port, it will work.

Boxes must be directly plugged into electrical wall socket. They cannot be plugged into a power strip.

I don't see why not since all it requires is AC power. The power strip gives the device what it requires. You should be good to go.

Hello. There should be a place to plug in an ac adapter on the product so you plug the power into the wall. Hope this helps :-)

That is a good question. I don't know. Since there is no direct power connection back to the switch, I am not sure how it could (unless the wall switch acts as a purely mechanical switch when the power is out. In that case, there should be no problem. I am going to go home and unplug my backup to see if it works.

no ... it plugs into a receptacle ... you should have to use a switched receptacle

I tried it with a power strip and it degraded the signal a lot. I ran a speedtest and it was less than a quarter of the speed when directly plugged into the outlet.

You can plug two of these into a standard two outlet wall connection. Not sure about a power strip.

Never plug a power backup unit such as this into a protector strip. It can cause power surges and other issues.

Not unless your voltage is more than 110v.,or the wall receptacles are configured differently from the cord plug.
