Power supply
I need a power supply for the Orbi RBS50Y that works in Portugal - 220v. The one that comes with the equipment is only rated for 100-120v

It will work on 240 volts. Ignore the label.
Been there, done that. You just need an adpter for US - Portugal sockets.
What's the model number On the adapter? AD2110F10?
More than a year on, it still works.
This product claims to work with RBS50Y and comes with suitable adapter. (How they do that is somewhat of a mystery.)
Basically, you want an adapter that provides 2.5amp at 12v output, with the same size plug as most Netgear products take.
Thank you for your answer. The problem is that the RBS50Y is an outdoor equipment, and the original power supply has all kinds of protections against the elements - rain, dust, etc.
The one you mention should make it work, but without these protections - so it won’t work for me
Of course. I wasn't thinking. (Have virtually no outside electrical outlets! I drill through the wall to install almost everything!)
The Installation Guide (http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBS50Y/RBS50Y_QSG_EN.pdf ) says that the power adapter "varies by region". I realize this is not much help because Netgear doesn't sell power supplies as separate items.
Outdoor lighting is often 12v. Perhaps a visit to a local home center or landscape supply place?
I use a box like this for my RBS50Y
