Orbi RBK53 United Kingdom compatibility

Hi there. I live in the U.K. and considering buying the Orbi RBK53 from the US but wondering if the voltage of the unit for sale there is designed to be compatible only for the voltage/power supply in the US. Also, are the supplied power cables/plugs only useable in the US? Thank you
  • Just to clarify, the US Orbi power adapter will work for all regions, including the UK.  However, you'll need to get a separate wall plug or outlet adapter specific to UK.

    From Orbi user manual.

     

    Power adapter:

    • North America: 120V, 60 Hz, input

    • UK, Australia: 240V, 50 Hz, input

    • Europe: 230V, 50 Hz, input

     All regions (output): 12V, 3.5A DC output

     

    You need to get an adapter for UK.
