Nighthawk RAXE500
Please does the Nighthawk RAXE500 work in 220-240V or can it work with a 220-240V power supply?
the power supply for my RAXE500 shows "input: 100-240v"

Is that a US model?
If so, looks like Netgear is finally catching up with the rest of the world for its North Americas products.
Everywhere else has had 100-240v adapters for years. Only the USA got adapters.with a 100-120V label
Even then, those adapters were mislabelled. They were actually 100-240v adapters. (I received several North American 120V models that happily worked on 240V without going bang.)
Yep, a NA model. Maybe it just took time for regulatory approval?

Or the lawyers were being careful.
Maybe both.
One problem is that multinational come with a pile of bits of plastic that you have to use to make then fit into local mains sockets.
In the US market, Netgear has used 100-240V adapters for quite a long time, though sporadically, for example, some early VMB3500 units would use a 100-120V adapter. On the other hand, many of their early 802.11n based routers began to have wider range input adapters, including on some budget focused ones such as the JNR3210.
Beyond that, it seems with the move to their 802.11ac products, pretty much everything they were releasing were using 100-240V adapters.
Though at that point, everything either had a 1.5 amp or 2.5 amp adapter
Wanted to add an image of the adapter for the RAXE500 as well.
Input: 100-240V 50/60Hz
Output: 19V 3.16A
