Orbi CBR750 Power Supply
The power adaptor for my Orbi 750 modem/router is rated 19v/3.16a. I plan to replace it with a 15v/3.5a power supply. Will this be a problem?
Hello plemans,
Thank you for your reply. I was under the impression that he was talking about the RBR750. The correct power rating for the CBR750 adapter that comes in the box is 19V/3.16A. The best practice is to keep the power adapter rating equivalent to the rating of the power adapter distributed by the manufacturer.

Yours is the CBR750? (you said modem/router combo device but not a model)
might have the 19V version versus the 12v that KevinLiT listed. Not sure as I don't have one to compare it to but many times the combo devices use the 19v standard (my cax80 does). Maybe FURRYe38 could chime in since he has a CBR750.
If it is 19v, don't use a 15v adapters. You should use a 19v one. Your device won't work with lower voltage and that can create instabilities if it does to even wrecking the device. Voltage is one of those things you should have the exact same on. Amperage you can have more (not less) and it still work fine.
