Orbi AC 2200 12V/1.5A power adapters replacement (need: 220V 50hz)
I have the AC2200 RBK23. Just realized it does NOT have dual voltage power adapters (wall plugs). Can anyone recommend a 220V 50hz replacement? Thank you!
In that case it is down to buying a generic adapter, unless you are willing to sacrifice the one that came with it to see if it would work.
Netgear does not sell replacement power adapters. Any generic adapter will work, as long as it has the right volts, enough amps and a tip with the right (+/-) polarity and dimensions.
This seems to be the Netgear standard:
By the way, buying from the USA can cause problems. You may find that your extender is locked down in the wifi frequencies and power that you can use. They have different regulations there.
I have some locked down Orbi kit. I works fine, but be prepared to troubleshoot possible conflicts.
Rolled the dice and plugged in. Checked with multimeter and amp clamp. 12.12 vdc 1.4 amps. Says 120vac 50/60hz but is working on 230vac 50hz.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I have been waiting for some madcap experimentalist/gambler to try that.
It has always struck me as odd for Netgear to commission someone to run separate production lines to make adapters. Much easier, and probably cheaper, to churn out the same thing and slap on a local label.
My system is 1 X RBR20 and 3 X RBS20, purchased through Amazon in the United Kingdom. I spoke directly to Netgear's technical department here in the UK and they advised that although the labels on each of the adapters states 240V only, they are in fact dual voltage and can be used in 110 or 120V environments. With this information in mind, I travelled to Brazil (120V) where I live much of the time and installed the system there. I can happily report that the system works perfectly, all four adapters, in a 120V environment and has been doing so for over four months now with no problems.
You are a brave soul :). I wish they would have been properly labeled. I wasted a lot of time looking for replacements and selling the originals :(.
