A reliable surge protector that you can use instead of a wall outlet is the APC Surge Protector Power Strip. It offers multiple outlets and protection against power surges to keep your devices safe.

To ground a surge protector, simply plug it into a properly grounded 3-prong electrical outlet. The surge protector should have a built-in grounding pin that connects to the ground in the outlet. This helps redirect excess electricity from power surges to the ground, protecting your devices.
Although a surge protector is certainly not required, it is highly recommended to protect all electronic equipment from damage.
It is generally not safe to plug a surge protector into an extension cord because it can overload the circuit and increase the risk of a fire hazard. It is recommended to plug the surge protector directly into a wall outlet for optimal safety.

To ensure the safety of your electronic devices when installing a surge protector, follow these steps: Choose a surge protector with the appropriate joule rating for your devices. Plug the surge protector directly into a wall outlet, not an extension cord. Connect your electronic devices to the surge protector, making sure not to overload it. Test the surge protector regularly and replace it if it shows signs of wear or damage.
EDIT: Actually, the gaming console and TV seem to now both work fine when plugged into a third outlet. I had previously tried plugging them both into the next nearest outlet and got the same result (tv turning off and on, console not properly booting) but when I plug them both into an outlet on the other side of the house they seem to work normally. When I plug a *different* TV and *different* gaming console into one of the problem outlets the different TV and console seem to work normally. What could explain this?
To properly install a surge protector, first, plug it into a wall outlet. Then, connect your electronic devices to the surge protector. Make sure the surge protector has a high joule rating to handle power surges effectively. Additionally, replace the surge protector every few years to ensure continued protection for your devices.
