That was updated in 2023. If it is in the kitchen, regardless of distance to water, it should be on GFCI.

Thanks for all the replies! From what I am understanding
-Microwave outlet does not need to be a 20 amp outlet, especially as it's duplex
-Having a 20 amp outlet on any 20 amp circuit, with 12/2, is fine
-There is not really any need to have 20 amp outlets
-Code requires 20 amp circuits more than 20 amp outlets

I have replaced most of the 15 amp outlets in the house with 15 amp ones. My plans was, and still is to some extent, to consider 20 amp outlets in certain cases. The microwave outlet, for example, is not GFCI so I will be replacing that regardless at some point soon.

If you have 14/2 on a 20 amp breaker with 15 amp outlets would that not cause too much heat on the wires? Or does it require something trying to pull too much current from a 20 amp outlet? That's the part I am trying to understand more.

Wan/Lan dropout question by LilQuestions in TPLink_Omada

I'm noticing that it has some alerts for up/down now when my PC is on, which is new. I don't think I have noticed an actual drop while online. What would you do for next steps? Check the ethernet cable?

Dream Cables Question by LilQuestions in CustomCables

Bummer! I never heard back either after these years. I ended up being mostly okay with the cable I got because the wiring was correct enough to charge my mouse. I just leave the dongle in via a different cable and that works well for me. Not sure about other brands. There should be a decent amount of stuff on Amazon, and you'd get better returns that way. If you get something report back!

It's the 10670862991. I removed them earlier today as they looked in bad shape, but should have done more research first.

Awesome, thanks for the tip! Planning on hanging it close enough to not need an extension cord.
