Netgear Orbi Voice (RBS40V) replacement adaptor
Hi, I bought my Orbi Router in USA which comes with Orbi Voice (RBR40V). And recently I moved to India. After few hours of usage in India, the Orbi Voice adaptor melted and stopped working. Then i r...
Netgear doesn't sell replacment power adapters.
You just need to make sure the adapter you buy in india has a matching output. so the same 19v, 3.16amp, and same polarity.
A 3rd party adapter should work fine if those match.
Thanks plemans for responding. Sure, I will give it a try in local stores near me. The hardest part with online is finding the right polarity which i a not able to find any.

They are out there, believe me. The problem is in finding one.
The "voice" satellite is rare in having a 19 volt adapter. (It is also on the CBR750 Cable Modem Router.)That could be the challenge. They are, though, pretty common on laptops.
One option is to go for something that provides set of different tips. There are also multi-voltage, switchable polarity adapters.
You can also find adapters that proclaim that they are compatible with various Netgear devices.
One other thing to keep in mind. Only polarity and voltage need to match. You can have HIGHER amperage because the rbs40v won't pull more power than you need. Just not less (or it might not be stable)

Good point.
Fortunately, a laptop adapter should deliver plenty of amps for a router, even one with an audio amp built in.
