WOW I can't believe all the responses to this post!

So, some homes in the Villages such as the Aspen don't have a switched outlet above the kitchen cabinets. In all other homes that I've seen, the double outlet is switched meaning both plugs are switched unlike the rest of the switched outlets in your home where only one outlet is switched. But this is OK because as you can see in the installation I posted about, because their outlet above the kitchen cabinets is switched, I used the outlet next to the ethernet jack to power the WiFi pod. The power cord for the device is long enough to be snaked from the outlet to the top of the cabinet with the ethernet cable.

If anyone wants to move their main WiFi pod to the top of the kitchen cabinets, please reach out to me. It takes about an hour and I have plenty of that wire molding.
