I want to extend the power adapter that came with the RBS40 but am at a loss with the exact size of the plug. I thought it was a 2.1x5.5 mm male plug but I've order two different ones on AMAZON and the plug will not fit the female sock on the satellite. I've search on Netgear and on the Community and I can't find any physical specifications on the power adapter. Can some please point me to the specs? Thanks,Joe

He has a power adapter. What he wants is an extension cord on the 12v side so the satellite can be placed farther from the electrical outlet while the adapter remains plugged into the outlet.

This should work: https://www.amazon.com/332-10944-01-AD2067F10-Adapter-Netgear-Satellite/dp/B07Y5Q316T/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=orbi+rbr40+power+adapter&qid=1630357921&sr=8-3

So why not put a 110v power extenstion cord on the 110v side of the adapter can call it good? This is easier and less hassle. The 110v side is known style and hasn't changed in moons age. Come in many different lengths and colors.

I have used female->male extensions for 12v security camera power. I can think of some reasons to want a very tiny 12v cable rather than an electrical extension cord: Low voltage cable can be run through walls and 110v extension cords cannot. Esthetics - want to hide the large power adapter and there is no place within 6 feet of the satellite location to do so. Low voltage cable can be easier to hide than extension cords. It is a big disappointing that Netgear does not publish the specs, just as they do not sell individual power supplies.
