Power Adapter Voltage Range
Hello everyone! I'm planning to buy this set: https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/mesh/rbe973sb/ Is there any RBE973 owner / Netgear member that can confirm that the power adapter volatage rang...
FURRYe38 Is there a part number on the 971 power supply? perhaps AD2073F20 (332-11482-02) ?
I'm wondering that too. My 800 serries have some with part number 332-10883-01, and the label on those goes up to 240v. Others are 332-11093-02, and they only go up to 120v.
I have a suspicion that perhaps the intent is to purchase the system in the U.S. but then at some future date relocate it to a part of the world that has 240v power rather than the 110v in the U.S. If the power supply supports all voltages, then only a simple "plug adapter" would be required.
Even so, you probably don't want to use a plug adapter on the US kit. Sometimes they don't fit that well, and can fall out.
Personally I'd like to see the routers use USB-C power, that way people can easily switch to the adapter that best fits their needs. Though the normal 5v 2A specs aren't enough, since the current Orbi adapters deliver laptop power levels (40-60 watts).
