They only work for lines on the same circuit, power strips are technically the addition of a circuit breaker with the surge breaker on them. I used to use several in my old apartment
I’m just saying the instruction on each one I owned said don’t use with a UPS or surge protector as it won’t work. Needless to say I tried it anyway and it didn’t work lol tbf they’re a bitch to get going on the same circuit as intended anyway, they’re fine once connected though. I only had to re-pair them once a year or so
Eh, usually won't work with a power strip on my experience
The adapter they plugged the male usb end into is not intended to output anything in the opposite direction. Second reason is it was plugged into a strip not the wall directly so both these would prevent eop from working correctly. Last reason is the dongle is intended for a laptop without an rj45 port but somehow the user found this device that was unused and decided it was for a printer they wanted to move from one side of the office to the other.
