RBS40 power adapter physical specification
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 ...
Grab you a white power extenstion cable and some brass screw hooks. Iv'e done this for some LAN cableing I had to run in my pre-existing home. Brass hooks help keep the wire in place and more out of site and makes it look nice.
Amazon just delievered my 12v extension cables 5.5*2.1mm:

(2) for $10.
My calipers measure the stock power supply (male end) at between 5.47 and 5.53mm. This extension cable also measures between 5.47 and 5.53mm. (My hands are shaky or something.) The stock power supply is plugged into the female end and the male end plugged into my Orbi. Orbi powered up and I am logged into it.
There is always a chance that Netgear designed the RBS40 to have a different power socket, but the Nerd in me asks, "Why???" All those Amazon listings say they work with almost every Orbi ever made. Can you give your cables another try?
Harbor Freight will sell a set of calipers for very little.
