Hi - forgive the foolish question.
I've just ordered a Full Fibre 900 Installation - and received a link to a Youtube Video about what is required for the Installation.
One thing they say is that you need a double socket outlet, of the Optical Network Terminal and the Router.
The problem is that I have only a Single Socket Outlet there. My current Broadband uses an NTE5C Master Socket which I assume is not plugged into a separate power supply; and then the current BT Router and other equipment are all plugged into an extension lead tower which in turn is plugged into the Single Socket Outlet.
Will it be OK to power the ONT and the new Router from the extension lead tower, or might this cause a degradation to the Broadband Service?
Thanks in advance.
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

It'll be fine or just get a double/treble socket adapter, like mine on L of my 3-Gang power socket outlet:
They are both low power devices.
