Orbi RBK13 Voltage Support
I'm planning to buy Orbi RBK13 in USA and use it in India. Would it work without any issues? Also, the adapter reads 100-120v. But the voltage in India is 220v. I've read multiple posts saying that...
CrimpOn I paid around $70 for a 3-pack, and its almost double in India. If the region cannot be changed, does it mean it will be unusable?

It means that the WiFi system will operate on US frequencies. The way I read it, 5G WiFi frequencies in the US are similar to frequencies in India. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels#India , with the main difference being the higher frequencies are marked as "Yes" in North America a "Indoors" for India. Page 139 of the User Manual specifies which frequencies are used in the US vs. Europe. (This is a bit confusing since many products identify frequencies in more detail (Japan, Russia, etc. etc.)
As you already have them, I'd say, "Go for it."
Thanks a lot for your reply. I guess my only issue is with the power supply; though many posts seem to indicate that the adapter does support 100-240V, but its just mislabeled. Wonder if its worth a try using the included adapter.
