Even if you have a US adapter that says 100-120 volts, there is a good chance that the label is not correct. It may be a legal thing, but some of those adapters are really dual-standard and can handle 240 volts.
By coincidence, just before I saw this message, I plugged the 100-120 volts US adapter for my RBS50Y into 240 volts. No fizz bang. Just power. Working fine.
I have done the same thing with other US adapters from Netgear. They all happily work on 240 volts.
Why bother to have two product lines when you can simply stick on a label to be legal?
