Orbi RBK852, Free Voltage?I am, Korean. Does the the Orbi Wifi Power Adapter (purchased in America),read 100V-240V on the label?Please advise! Thank you!

Hi,I would suggest to strongly avoid buying an US/FCC version (Kit model RBK852-100NAS). While not checked the WiFi 6 Orbi, from experience we know that Netgear's FCC equipment can't be reconfigured for different wireless regulatory areas, the region selection does only allow U.S. (and probably Canada). You might want to look for a RBK852-100EUS or RBK852-100PAS (don't know if the later does already exist) - these are typically "worldwide" systems allowing the regulatory/country selection.

RBK852, Free Voltage?? Yes or No?RBK50(made in usa), It is used in Korea.No problem.

And their factories can (and do sometime) supply other power supplies. I don't know as I'm not Netgear and have no insight on thier product delivery chain.

Your risk - not mine. Not interested in reading later that your mobile or IoT or whatever don't connect, or the KCC (대한민국 방송통신위원회) does ring on your door.

absolutly true. it is illegal to use wireless communication device that aren't complied to Korean regulation standard in Korea. please avoid buying RBK852 until they update the firmware to support other regions. and the US retail set comes with power supplies that are rated for 110-120v use only.

It is only rated for 100-120 VAC at 50/60 Hz

    Beside the size and build, most recent netgear orbi products shares the same power adapter specs.
    I notice the new one is bigger and bulkier, though run way cooler than any other ac adapter I have.
    
    if it uses the same plug for device end and have met the required power spec (12V, 3.5A output), it should work no matter what.

    Mine is clearly a US/Japan adapter as the input voltage is only 100-120 VAC. I have attached a picture of the adapter and label.
