Not Natgear if you don't mind ...

It's a bad idea buying US model variants, especially when it comes to wireless. It's all FCC restricted regulatory material where changing the regulatory area/country config option isn't permitted - because of the FCC does not allow.

Some Netgear support centers regions (e.g. Singapore as per several community reports) are playing hard on non-regional models, they refuse support or hardware warranty replacements, obviously they have no FCC variants or US power supplies on stock for APAC region.
Ref. the power supply - these are 19 V / 60 W "notebook style" power supplies (e.g. all X8 X10 AX8 AX12 AD7200 R9000 AC5300 AX6000 RAX80 RAX120 RAX200 from wally brain) with an IEC power inlet.
