For a standard 2-receptacle outlet, does this timer obscure the unused receptacle?

if you use the top receptacle the bottom one will be free. if you plug the timer into the bottom receptacle the top receptacle will be covered.

It looks like You can plug 2 different items into the timer, can you also set 2 different times for both plugs ?

No, this timer runs both outlets via the same program. We do have a timer that has two outlets with separate controls, which you can find here: https://www.amazon.com/Century-Heavy-Digital-Programmable-Outlet/dp/B071KXV73N/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

can this be used to turn off my router every three days ? sometimes it needs to be reset when I am out of town. It would need to be off for 1 minute.

I just figured mine out, for this very purpose. I wanted to have my router and modem reset once a week. I set program #1 for Mon-Sat. Time doesn't matter 4AM on 4Am off, for example. This makes the timer not change for Mon-Sat. Next I set program #2 for Sunday only to turn off, then back on. On at 4:01 and off at 4:00 (one minute off). The most important thing to change is the ON/AUTO/OFF function. This changes the timer from normally on or normally off. The timer cycles from On to auto(power on), then off to auto(power off). Test this with something plugged in and on. Normally on and powered on will have the red light brightly on. Normally off and powered off will be a dim red light.

How many Watts does the unit itself consume?

According to the technical details on the product description page , this timer consumes a fairly high 1725 watts. However, when I checked a number of comparable digital timers, I found similarly high levels of wattage ranging from 1000w to 1850w. I find this very surprising since these timers have an LCD display and no motor like their mechanical counterparts. By way of comparison, my mechanical timers consume 1750w.
