replacement cord for ORBI RBS50Yv2
the power cord broke at the connection to my orbi outdoor router. It is model AD10330LF. any suggestions on where I can get a replacement? The connector seems unique to the Orbi, since the power connection is located in a well.

might do a search online or amazon for "orbi rbs50y power adapter"
See if anything will work. The 50Y is EoL so maybe hard to find something exact.
Picture of what adapter real adapter looks like and not genuine adapter:
There is a genuine one advertised here:
But the picture doesn't match, so you confirm with the seller.
- The weather resistant housing of the transformer
- The screw that holds the power connector to the case
There's no screw on mine. Though they are both old beta units (not v2).
On weather resistance - the cable itself is also water resistant. You need to be careful to preserve that if you try to splice the cable - especially if the RBS50Y is exposed to the elements.
power cord broke at the connection
There are several features of the RBS50Y power supply that are rather unique:
- The weather resistant housing of the transformer
- The screw that holds the power connector to the case
Depending on how the connector is "broken" it may be possible to jury rig a new connector.
- If the cable is broken but some cable remains connected to the plug, then splice the cable.
- If the cable is broken off exactly at the plug, then get an ordinary power supply for the generic Orbi (RBR50),
cut the cable and splice it with the existing cable.
The key is that the plug has to be the same dimensions and polarity as the existing one.
