Use MK63 Nighthawk purchased in USA IN EUROPE
Hello, I leave in Europe and while i am on vacation in USA i wanted to buy Nighthawk MK63 AX1800 model. My question is if it will be suitable in Europe since the input written on the 3 adapters in ...
Thanks for your reply. What i meant i received 3 power adapter to each device but each one is labelled 110V. How will i know if it is only mistake in the label and i can really use it in Europe 220V?

I get it now. Three devices and three adapters.
It isn't so much a "mistake" on the label as Netgear labelling them for local use. My theory is that it is down to consumer law in the USA and the EU. If Netgear wants to label adapters for all voltages it has to do more tests and get more bits of paper that cost money. Much easier just to stick 110 Volts on the adapter.
I can only say that I have plugged 110V adapters into 240V sockets. But I would not recommend that to anyone as I don't have their plugs to hand.
