> 24 hourOur house has new outlet face-plates with one screw in the center. These holders, when empty, barely stay in. When you put the Google wifi device, they fall out immediately. So: these are easy to install and easy to use, and probably work fine if the outlet is in a good position (out of the way of traffic, and in a good location for wifi signal strength), but ONLY if the face-plate of the outlet has two screws.

> 24 hourGreat option to tidy up your wifi hub. I installed it from the side (rather than from the top or bottom of the outlet). Very nice indeed.

> 24 hourI recently purchased the google whole home Wifi system and decided to try these outlet mounts so the routers would not have to sit on top of furniture. The mounts seem to be very secure, and I did not notice any movement of the mounts after installing them behind the wall plates. I did attempt to wrap the cord around the mount several times before finally being satisfied with the tension in the cord while plugged in. Other than that, installation was a breeze.

> 24 hourI would have given this 5 stars except that I could only get it to work when installed on the BOTTOM of my outlet. I first tried to install on the side and it fell right out. Maybe that is because I have the older outlet type with a single screw in the middle, between the two receptacles. Hangs down just fine and seems secure enough. I initially tried winding the cord by inserting the plug in the puck and then winding out, but that didnt put the electric plug where I needed it. I ended up starting w/ the electric plug where I wanted it, and then winding it in (starting w/ the outermost ring first) and finally plugging into the the puck. Also, note that you can/should wind the cord 2x into each ring -- if you only put a single wind into each ring you will end up w/ a lot of extra cord. Recommended, especially if you are good w/ it being installed on the bottom.

> 24 hourDoes not work well at all with outlets which only have a single screw (in the middle) holding the outlet cover in place. After completely tightening the outlet cover, the holder is easily removed from behind the cover. A simple bump by a leg would dislodge this.

> 24 hourClever design shifts support of the weight of Google wifi to your outlet cover plate. Unlike other designs the plug isnt used to hold any weight. The Google WiFi is heavy enough you do not want the plug to support weight since it will fall out over time. This outlet design solves that problem. You should note this design depends on the cover plate to be ridged. I had one cover plate that was vinyl and could not support the holder tight enough. But an outlet cover is an easy and inexpensive replacement if needed. Since the Google Wifi plug isnt used by the outlet holder your outlet can easily use both plugs of outlets. Other holder designs may interfere with the second plug. This holder is a great simple but solid design. I never need to worry about this failing and having the Google WiFi unplugged. Highly recommended.

> 24 hourWish I found this product earlier. I’ve been using the other type where all the weight sits on the prongs, loosening the outlet over time. With this mount, weight sits on the outlet face. Love it!

> 24 hourI have had a little mini shelf for the mesh extender on my upstairs landing for a few years. Hated how the cord had to wrap around the device to keep it from the floor. Kids have snagged it several times....ugh. This simple little thing has fixed this issue as far as it can be fixed without upgrading to the newer version of the mesh with the lower profile plugs - and I dont need to replace the extenders so yay! Great product. Super simple to use. I love that I can hang it from the plug vs having to have a place to set it.

> 24 hourOwning a Custom AV Integration company of 22 years and being extremely OCD with details, I am always looking for accessories to keep my integrations as clean as possible. When Google moved to Mesh technology I HATED the idea of these little white WAPs sitting on floors, tables and just about anywhere with their cables strewn about. ARRRGGggggHhh! Now enter this little novel idea, a wall mount for these ugly little “pucks”! COOL! Last week I purchased a pair and installed one in my personal home; and another for a well-to-do client! She hated the puck wadded up in the corner of her new home’s Hearth Room… and so did I. The install was very straight forward and will require a single Standard screwdriver, and depending on how OCD you are can take less than 5 minutes. In my Pic, you can see I hid the excess power cord to the Google Fiber Jack inside the wall box under the removable port access cover of the Fiber Wall Jack. Also, Google loves to provide an extra long 6’ - 9’ CAT 6 cable which is usually way too long for the application. So I removed their extra long flat CAT6 cable and replaced with a simple 1’ CAT6 jumper cable. This way I was able to minimize the footprint of the Google mess of cables! As a finishing touch, I covered the 6” or so of exposed cables with black Split Cable Loom. available at Home Depot or Harbor Freight. Ideally, white loom would’ve been excellent but I was out of it at the time. DURABILITY: It’s plastic, yo. So if you have kids running around into walls or dogs that are chewers, then yes it will probably fail. If you have loose power wall receptacles, then yes, it will probably not stay securely in place. If you don’t have these potential issues, well then it should work splendidly! I give this little miracle an A+!
