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.

If you don't have a use for the one you're using, i'd try plugging it in and seeing if it worked (in a safe spot). I know that many that are used in the EU only have rated to 120v on the plugs but work up to 220v. If you plug it in and test it and it works. yaaaa. If its not rated, it blows and potentially trips a breaker.

Or it will cause a fire. Good luck explaining your insurance company! In my opinion these advices here are criminal.
Of course e.g. Amazon will deliver US power supplies if people are going to order from online stores intended for other contients. Netgear does supply the correct power supplies to the distribution channels for each market.
