Power adapter

Since I cannot find any information of the ouput voltage of the adapter, so does the power adapter shipped with Netgear Orbi support 220v/50Hz power network (non US standard)?

  • cattrieu The Orbi power adapter has the specs writtten on the side of it. It reads:

    Input 100-240V~50/60Hz 1.0A

    Output 12V 3.5A

     

    Most electronic devices sold today support 100-240V and 50/60Hz with a single power supply. All you need is a plug adapter to use them anywhere.

  • its 100 to 240v so can be used with a converter if needed but be aware the fcc wifi rules for the staes may not be correct for your region

  • Petey, I guess you mean voltage and current......... Perhaps you should be reading up..... ;)

      um amperage = current

       

      voltage is irrelevent as all new power supplies are 110-240v these days

       

      wattage is a calculation of voltage and amps

       

      so i stand by what i said

        Frequency DOES matter when it comes to ANY "transformered" devices.  Overheating and/or burnout can occur if 60 Hz rated devices are used on 50 Hz current, as there is not enough iron in the induction cores, and the devices overheat.  With "switching" power supplies, there is less of an issue.  The power supplies SHOULD have a voltage/current/frequency input rating printed thereon.
