Hi there,

After buying the extender kit I ran into an issue which is that almost all of the sockets in my household are sideways. I have tested the connection and it does seem to be fine when using them sideways, but I noticed that the devices did seem to heat up pretty quickly. I then tried out testing them by plugging them in through a plug adapter that allows them to be upright (a 2 plug adapter directly into the wall, not a power strip), and the connection does seem to take a slight decline (around 10-20mbs less for both upload and download) but the heating issue seems to decrease by a noticeable margin.

My question is, since I don't seem to have another option, which is best (less worse); using it through the plug adapter or using them sideways? Does using them sideways actually affect overheating or not?

Many thanks in advance,

Adrian
