Orbi RBK852 Power Adapter Voltage Label(Free Voltage?)
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!

Assuming Netgear does ship the same 12V/3.5A power supplies like NETGEAR AC/DC POWER ADAPTER 12V 3.5A FOR 100V-240V AC 50/60HZ (PA7000P) as with many other products ... probably yes. 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.

Made for the USA probably, unlikley made in USA. Problem ... as it is illegal and can't be changed to Korean region I'm afraid. 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.
