EE Wifi phone adapter & multi-way mains supply adapters ?

[Dave523]

I have recently transferred from Plusnet and the EE Wifi phone adapter for one of my existing phones needs to share the mains socket with other electrical equipment.

However, the mains cable from another plug prevents the Wifi adapter from fully engaging with the mains adapter (see photo).

Has anyone encountered the same problem and found a multi-way mains adaptor that is compatible with the EE Wifi phone adapter ? TIA

Get a 3-way multi-adapter, possibly with a side entry. I'm sure you can find a way, even to the extent of plugging 1 adapter into the other.

@Dave523 Yes there are a few around, it's all to do pin location's and adapter types, some are wider like a triple adapter and can be used with plug connected to the side and front having the DVA attached like your picture, just hard to come by at times, see the link below to get the general idea...

Very good - I've checked the dimensions and have ordered one to try (del. tomorrow). I'll update in due course.

@Dave523 The quick look on the picture would suggest you should be able to side mount one off them, it's a play and see....

Success - the EE Wifi adapter works successfully with the LH socket on the Screwfix multi-way mains adapter (the other two sockets are problematic), so it's a solution for my requirements. Thanks, again.

Thanks! You're welcome 🙂 ! Glad I could be of assistance & trust it is now sorted.
