That i am not so sure if netgear sells them (you might want to chat with support). You can also power this with some decent QC3.0 charging brick from a reputable brand. I have several power bricks I have tried with this model, as long as it can output 2A or more, and you are using one of those USB-C cables that came OEM with a fast charging phone, you should be okay. OEM is ideal, but I have this work with a lot of 3rd party cables and bricks. You just have to find which one works.
