I'm a disabled senior with eyesight that isn't so good anymore. I'm also not good at scouring the internet for things I need, so I thought I would ask here: As you will see in the attached picture, I have a Wi-Fi satellite plug that sticks out from the wall (when plugged in)and I keep bumping it and knocking it out. I am trying to find an adapter that I can plug into the outlet, that changes the plug socket direction 90 degree's. I don't want to add another power strip or anything like that (I've tripped over those a LOT in the past).

Just want to find an adapter I can plug into the socket, that changes to plug (where the Wi-Fi plug, from sticking straight out - to one the has the WIFI satellite adapter plug going up and down, so it doesn't stick out from the wall.

If you can imagine the current plug, as seen in the picture, as currently going in/out (east/west), then I need an adapter that will allow me to plug the WIFI plug up and down (North/South)

Do they make such a thing? Does anyone know of any links?

Thanks in advance to all who help!

Thats what he has.

Why cant you remove that box and plug it directly into the wall?

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

I got the flat box (from HF) because I tend to knock out any plug that is sticking out of the wall into the room (with my cane), but t even with my the HF flat box/6 outlet unit, the WIFI satellite plug is configured to stick out into the room. So unless I change the direction of the (plug) prong slots, I'm going to have the same problem. A few suggestions given here are just the thing I need! Thanks everybody!

Here is something else that I use that really helps with turning things on and off.
You can do individual on/off or all on/off.

Remote control outlets.

Thank you all for your assistance & help!! Sorry I didn't get back here sooner to thank you folks, I was a little busy getting a giant kidney stone out, which actually turned out to be several kidney stones stuck together. The doctor had to do a lot of laser blasting to break them up but he says he got it all. I feel like he beat me with a sack of hammers. Oh, for some reason, anytime I have any kind of surgery, I go into septic shock (almost died twice). Because of my history, I had my surgery at a hospital. So although they only normally keep you for an hour or two in recovery (after surgery) they had me come in 1st and stay all day. I literally had a nurse assigned to me - standing at the end of the bed all day. Just for me. They hook you up to several monitors and I kept causing alarms. My doctor, who had several surgeries that day, came in and checked on me after every surgery. He would talk to me and then to the nurse at the end of my bed. My nephrologist, who wasn't even working that day, came by to see me. Towards the end of the day they were asking me questions and I guess I was getting confused (sign of sepsis) and they ordered some blood work. A little while later my doctor and the nurse assigned to me, told me they were going to admit me. They got me into a room pretty and hooked all sorts of stuff up. They gave me oral and intravenous antibiotics. Then several nurses came in and checked out my whole body looking for who knows what. Anyway, they took very good care of me and my only complaint is: Why do they have to have young, beautiful nurses?? I know modesty goes out the window it's still embarrassing to have these young good looking women doing all that to me.

It is to keep your heart beating and your blood pressure up. Next time, ask for Nurse Ratched if you want ugly and nasty.
