As far as I can see, the RBS50Y is essentially unavailable from anywhere (new or used) in Australia, and the ones I could buy from the US (via ebay) are expensive and naturally come with the wrong power plug.

 

I received an RBS50Y from the US with the "wrong" power plug.

 

The good news is that it just took an adapter to get it to work on 240 volts. It switched itself from 120V. In any case, mains adapters are pretty generic. Any adapter will work, as long as it has the right volts, enough amps and a tip with the right (+/-) polarity and dimensions. Few Netgear devices comes with exotic power input sockets.
